I had an outdoor cat and didn't have a litter box.  I moved kept the cat indoor for a while, when it returned to being an outdoor cat it came inside of the litter box.

I had to torment my cat yesterday, he hates the crate, he hates car rides so I put him in both and took him to the vet to get a teeth cleaning and a tooth extracted.  I need to give him pain meds, a single dose lasts 24 hours, and he is feeling very good.

I didn't know they had any meds that lasted 24 hours.  His eyes are dilated and he is just hanging out.

"Oh no, don't jump on the bed!", cat runs the other direction and jumps on the higher window perch.

"No running, jumping or access to stairs" He took care of all three of those the moment I opened the door to the crate.

I can't get near him unless I lay on the floor.  I would never be able to hold his mouth open to get a pill in him.  I tried putting it in his food but he isn't eating today.

Yo dude... look at the colors...

Dogs: Yo dude the shades of gray.

Dogs are easy, put the pill in some peanut butter.  It helps the dogs don't let the food touch their mouth when they eat. It helps they have a larger mouth.

Cats are not as easy.
