Hi Karen: Reading your post as my one year old kitten "Blu" (longhair Ragdoll)does gymnastics with a pipe cleaner. Never saw anyone have so much fun with objects before. Now he came up to the french door (I have my laptop in the dining room) and Tango (my 1.5 year old calico kitten) is on my side of the door. They're batting each other through and around the partially opened door. It is so funny to watch. Kittens are wonderful. I could see you lying on the couch nursing your headache while your little one curls up in the crook of your arm.

How about mixing the meds in a bit of tuna or tuna "juice". Mine will take anything in tuna. But as Jill points out, wrapping those pesky claws in a towel makes them much more easy to control.

I love reading your kitten antics. Some days I wish I had a houseful. My kittens have enriched our lives a hundredfold.
