As every cat parent knows, there comes a time when your feline companion will need medication, and it is often in tablet form.

Now you maybe fortunate in that your cat is quite chilled and takes the tablet with no need for you to grab the first aid kit afterwards to tend to your wounds but many cats do not play ball and just when you think you've succeeded they spit it out with a look of betrayal and disgust.

Now, what if I could tell you there is something that you can use that will mean there is no need to don those thick gloves anymore?

Cersei, our female Maine Coon, has been on all types of medications over the years and is now taking tablets daily. I would usually crush tablets and mix in with a liquid treat but one of her tablets I was advised not to crush due to the taste so her vet recommended Easypill Giver Cat (paid link).

​

This is a malt-flavoured putty that can be cut up into smaller pieces and then molded around the tablet. The 10g piece of putty comes in an individually wrapped package and quite honestly smells divine, and based on the reaction by our other cats, they agree.
Now I have to say that 10gs is not very big and if you have large tablets or many to give this might not seem very cost effective, however you only need a small amount and it's very pliable. I've easily got this to cover 20-22 tablets.

So, what is Cersei's verdict? Well, she has always been easy to medicate but waits every morning for her meds because it's like having treats.

For a stress free experience, whether it be a one off worming tablet or more regular medication, the Easypill Giver Cat is a game changer for all you cat parents of less chilled cats when it comes to giving tablets.

Have you tried this? I would love to hear about your cats experience so please leave a comment below.

I don't do New Years resolutions however for 2026 I've decided it's time for a reset and to get back some focus on Purrfectly Handmade, especially my blog. I'm thinking monthly product reviews, cat and crafting experiences and life in general.
