These were the very sarcastic words of the technician who instructed us on our cat’s home care regimen.  We have to shoot 1ml of the bubble gum medicine down his throat twice a day, which he is pretty much done with after just two doses.  The bubble gum medicine, for those of you who never had the joy of taking it growing up, is children’s amoxicillin. It is gross pink goo that tastes like bubble gum.

Cats do not like bubble gum.

Turns out they don’t like Maalox  either.  We tried that this morning.  Yep Maalox.  Also, Peptid AC.  The vet told us we could mix the Maalox in with some wet food and the cat would eat it.  That is most definitely not happening.  Nick is a food snob.  He has refined kitty tastes and will have nothing to do with the mint gravy I put in front of him.

Izzy on the other hand thinks it’s delicious.

We figure, if this is the worst of our worries we can totally work with with it.  Nick is 100% back to normal except for the shaved bits all over his body and  the pink goatee he’s sporting. We’re loving it!
