Cat Medicine

One of my sister’s cats had to have an operation recently, and afterwards, they had to give her pain medicine, which she resisted as much as possible. They said it was supposedly bubblegum flavor, and then commented on how odd it seemed to make a cat’s medicine bubblegum flavored. Boy, I’ll say! What are they thinking?

There’s one thing that cats seem to like, and that’s the goo that comes in the cans of cat food. So why not mix the medicine with that stuff? It would be rotten fish flavored, or rotten liver flavored, etc., and I’ll bet cats would love it! And on the bottle for this medicine, it said: “Keep away from children!” Well, if it’s bubblegum flavored, you’d have to do that! But if it was mouse flavored, kids wouldn’t even want it, so wouldn’t it be doubly effective to do it this way? Safer for kids, easier to give to cats, etc.?

Do the people who make this stuff have the ability to think rationally? I guess some kids will have to overdose on bubblegum flavored cat drugs before they’ll see their mistake! I mean, really! How hard is this?
