Do you have a pill shooter? It's a syringe you put a bit of water in, then put the pill in the end.

I got away with this once, then was nearly shredded for 2nd attempt. Lol

Have you tried pill pockets? Treats with a slot for a pill.

Cat bag can be helpful, too...

They were kind of big, though. I was surprised it was so large for a cat.

Tiny pills, big dog with a couple square yards of floppy St Bernard lips and I have arthritis in my hands. Who knows where the pill goes?

Solution: a chick pea size bit of liverwurst with pill inside. No more problem

I cut a roll of liverwurst into 1/4 inch slices, wrap each slice in wrap and keep in freezer, keeping one slice in fridge. Of course, the dog who doesn't take the meds gets a bite too. And the old cat gets his little bite.
