Just request the pills in a .22cal.

 

Then you can take a 22LR and pull the bullet out, press in the pill, and then you can safely administer the pill from an appropriate distance.

 

Getting the pill into the cat, was the goal, right.

This reminded me of a funny but true story. When my youngest son was a small child the doctor gave us some suppositories to give him. My wife and daughter were trying to um, install the suppoitory but my son was kicking and fighting so hard they couldn't complete the mission, so I was called in. While they held him down I installed the suppository and all was ok. The next day my daughter was going to wal mart, she was old enough drive, and she asked my son if he wanted to go with her. Now picture this. They were at the check out and my small son looked up at my daughter and said, I hope my daddy doesn't try to stick that thing up my butt again tonight. My daughter almost died. She said oh my god, lets get out of here before we are arrested. My son is 21 years old now and we still get a good laugh everytime we think about this.
