Giving a pill to a cat vs. a dog

Our pets have small ailments right now and we're giving pills to both a cat and dog and there is a difference in how that goes.

Tricking a cat into eating a pill is like sitting down to chess with a world-ranked grandmaster.

👨🏻 pspspsps hey buddy, come here and get a little treat! (laced with catnip but also with your pill inside)

🐈 Are you fucking kidding me? You think I'm gonna fall for your imbecile's gambit? I know what you're up to 13 moves ahead of whatever it is you think you're doing here.

👨🏻 No, it's not like that, this is a treat! For you! Because you're a great cat and deserve it.

🐈 Did I not make it clear that I'm on to you and your charades? I'm not buying what you're selling. You're fooling no one in this house.

(this continues for 20min before we think of something to trick the cat we haven't tried before)

Whereas giving a pill to a dog is much easier.

👨🏻 Hey! You want a treat?! (offering spoonful of peanut butter with pill inside)

🐕 Oh boy! slurp
