How-to give a cat a pill tutorial 

life goal: get a girl that looks at you the way Mr. Pirate looks at da vet.

My cat just eats the pill straight from my hand because he thinks it's a treat haha

I don't even own a cat

That look Mr. Pirate gives the camera

My aunt had to give her cat a course of antibiotics once and he was very good about taking every. One day she pulls the couch out from against the wall to vacuum under it and she finds every single one of the pills she gave him deposited under the couch! He'd keep it hidden in his mouth until he had a moment to discreetly chuck it under there.

My cat hated pills. But, if I got the cheese from the fridge, and grated a little, accidentally on purpose dropping ONE cheese sliver on the floor, then pretended to try to beat the cat to it, he gleefully snarfed it up and waited for more. After a short time pretending to grate more cheese, I would drop the pill and try to recover it. He always (obviously!) beat me to it, and snarfed it down. He never even knew he had been fooled. He did usually get another sliver of cheese after. I don't know how well it would work with a cat who didn't always try to steal my cheese sandwiches.

That’s a shoulder cat if I’ve ever seen one. He is staring right at that shoulder.

All i see is a magician doing his trick. Flawless

“Give you a high five” = scratch you to death?

When the piller demonstration started, I could see Pirate thinking, "But I already did this today!"

I want to cuddle Mr. Pirate!!

I love how in the beginning mr. pirate's eyeing on ur shoulder

The world has been introduced to a perfect gentleman. Thank you, Internet, and Dr. Yuri.

from 1:41-1:45 Mr. Pirate looks at his owner/Dr. just like: "I know you've been taken good care of me. I love you, too"

My vet told me to practice giving a pill every day when hes young with a small piece of food so that when he gets old had has to take pills he is used to and won't have any problems

“Do I get three breakfasts now?”

You move your hands like a magician. Very smoothly

So I've been giving pills to my cats for years. And when I say this I mean I've tried EVERYTHING to get my cats to take their pills. Putting them in food, pill pouches, crushing them into powder and mixing into food and that greasy hairball stuff.... nothing worked. I was lucky if HALF of the medicine went into My cats. This worked. They were NOT happy but the whole pill went in. Now if they don't barf it up on my pillow while I'm at work I'll be ecstatic!!! Thank you !!!!!!!

What a nice cat!

Honestly, I just want a series of videos of Mr Pirate and his fluffy belly and big fluffy butt ♥️ I expect you here this all the time, but please give him a tickle from me and tell him he's a good boy ♥️

Mr pirate is so sweet! And he really does love shoulders!

I think I like watching your videos just to watch you handle your cats...such warm and loving relationships.

Been using this method with my cats for years, and it always works like a charm. I use butter with the pills, since it sorta' lubes 'em up and makes them go down a little more smoothly. I'll also usually reward with a treat of some sort as well, just for the extra positive connection with pill times.

This was such a huge help. My hubby use to take care of things like this but now hes in heaven an its up to me. Thank u for such a great tutorial ♡

The trust of your cats in you is so deep. I can see that. Awesome video! ♥

Can you do a tutorial on how to get a cat into a carrier when they have to go to the vet

Love this channel, glad I found it. My 19 year old Bubba Cat was hard to give a pill, but I used the couch so he wouldn't back up. Sadly he's gone now and I miss him so much! But on a happier note, I've rescued a 3-4 year old girl who is settling in just fine. Cheers, :-)

Dude, you have some Mr. Rogers ASMR stuff going on! Your voice is gold! 🐱

I love this cat he is just so cute

Squish That Cat!

Don't know, looks like the cat was a paid actor!

I have a very tempermental kitty who needed meds and I was terrified of how she'd react. Your video actually made me feel like it I could do it though, and I did! It took 4 tries, but she got the first pill down and has already forgiven me. Thank you SO much for the encouraging explanation. Now just 13 more pills to go ...

I'm so in love with this cat. The sheer adoration in his looks and behavior, and the way he's always eager in each video to gently climb onto your shoulder, are so endearing!

I’m in favour of calling the cat piller the “caterpillar” :D

Mr Pirate is so adorable im obsessed

This dude is the Bob Ross of cats

This video comes years too late for me :-) But at least I now know what I was doing wrong the whole time: Instead of standing behind, I was standing in front of my cat. Also not pointing her head upwards but trying to pry her mouth open from the side. Thank you for this precious lesson. Giving my cat her pill every morning and evening was frustrating for me and for her equally. I would often find pills in corners or on the carpet where she had spat them out unnoticed. I was happy when her medication was changed to a liquid, and she actually loved it. Unfortunately, she died of cancer two and a half months ago, rejoining her two elder playmates in Cat Heaven. But I am sure there will be new cats in my life sooner or later, and when I will have to administer pills again, I will refer to your tips. I also noticed something very important: You have to be as calm and relaxed as possible yourself while giving the pill. Human anxiety, stress and frustration spread to the cat and will make it feel anxious itself.

Thank you so much! Last time my husband and I tried to give my cat a pill we ended up disheveled and the cat went unmedicated. The part about holding up their chin was clutch! Thank you thank you!!!

He can squish that cat, deepthroat that cat with tablets, and that cat still friendly :O

The world needs more vet like you! This makes me miss my cat so bad.

There is no way MY will ever be that calm!

Thank you! I subscribed- not just because your videos are useful (though they are), but because I'm always happier after I've watched one.

3:57 Mr. Pirate: "Ah shit, here we go again..."

Such a wonderful gentle man--and his method worked!!!

Thanks so much for that video. We've been struggling like hell to give pills to our cat. We tried with the tutorial of other videos, but the 'lifting her head up for the mouth to open' was the perfect trick! We successfully fed her pills in the first try with this technique!

Thank you. That was extremely helpful.

Thank you. Fought with a sick cat for months and kept finding pills on the floor in kind of hidden spots so I wouldn’t be sure when it was from. Tried pill pockets, pill poppers, fingers, everything. He was very old and has passed since but I have two healthy cats that this may come in useful if something happens, God forbid.

I love this vet...thank you so much for these videos

you are so peaceful and loving with your cat that I actually enjoy watching you petting Mr Pirate

Thank you for uploading this kind of videos, really helpful. Have a nice day and I hope to see more of your videos coming up.

@Helpful Vancouver Vet Thank you for this video. You are such a calming veterinarian and Pirate was a great "demo" cat.

You are so kind, and your videos are super informative! Keep up the great work and make more!😃👍🏻

Love ur presentation as well as topics! 9 times out of 10 u make me at least smile, if not laugh outright and I ALWAYS learn from u! Thank u so much! 😸😻

Love your tips! And Mr. Pirate is the sweetest

Love these videos! Mr. Pirate is such a cutie, what a little chunk!

Mr. Pirate is so so handsome! If you have not already, could you do a video about declawing? I work at an animal shelter and I still get plenty of questions about declawing! It is kind of hard for me to believe that people would still do it, but I realize for many it is from lack of thoughtfulness and education about their feline friends. Your platform would be a great educational tool on the issue.

Thanks for the helpful video! You have very good assistants too

Once again thank you so much for another wonderful video :)

Really great video!! I've always struggled on pilling. No one actually showed me. Thanks so much.

Thank you for the information! Great video.

This is suuuper helpful! Thanks.

Your videos are wonderful - thank you! And your cats are awesome.

That was some great tips! Thanks!

Thank you for this video and how kind and loving you are to this cat. I'd definitely bring my cats to you if I were in BC!

You are awesome! Thanks for the video!

Thank You for the tip! I'm sure I'll need it one these days!

Dear doctor, thank you so much for making these videos! They are so useful!

4:29 Wow! that was smooth! Last time I had to do that, we required three people to hold my cat, and even then we ended up scratched and bitten. We tried to break the pill and mix with meat, but he would just spit it out because his senses are just too sharp.

useful stuff ! you really have a nice cat

What a sweetheart Mr. Pirate is! Very useful video, my 9 year old cat needs a pill every other day. I never thought to put food out for him to help him swallow, I will definitely be trying that. He's a sneaky little guy and will hide the pill in his mouth, I have to keep his mouth closed until I see him visibly swallow.

Sueprb!!!! Loved the idea! My cat fidgets so much it's impossible to give him anything. But this dipping in fav food thing helped a lot! Thanks!!

Great video. I wish we had doctors like you here in India. Keep sharing the knowledge. It can save someone's life. And I'm in love with your cat. Such a well behaved baby. Beautiful.

You deserve a million subs. Such great videos.

For me this worked on the first go. Thank you, total game changer for me and my cats.

Way to go Pirate, you're such a good boy💙💙💙

Thank you so much! Only took me one shot with my new kitten!!

Thanks for the helpful video! I'm able to give my cat pills this way with almost no problems.

These videos are relaxing.

I really enjoyed that cat tutorial 🐾💖

My cat loves dry food. I think I might practice with dry food now that she's healthy so she will already know the procedure when she's sick. She gets aggressive sometimes, I'm always happy for ways to reduce stress for both of us.

Thank you so much for this. Im moving in a couple weeks and my boy Noah has horrible anxiety with traveling, new places and such. My vet gave him anxiety meds to make this transition a bit easier on him. I had NO idea how to give him his pill. Thank you sooo soo much

Thank you! 💕 My cat is a little bit a talker and has some attitude but it works just fine!

love the uploads keep it up

Mr. PIRATE ist so lieb!

Aaa-HA!! Been needing to know this for a while... Oops, I kind of typed yesterday to ask you to make such a video. I must have overlooked this one. Thank you so much for sharing!!! :)

I'm convinced that you're a magician. My cats are never ever that still and peaceful. We'lll keep practicing.

Mr. Pirate.....is so kyooot! ^. .^

Thanks! What a beautiful, mellow cat Mr Pirate is!

Thanks for the video, this technique helps out a lot.

I learned something today. It's all about positioning. Will try this next time my cat needs her meds. Thank You!

I found this very useful thanks!😋

I have a cat who just loves his medication. I have to give it to him every day at 6:00PM, at 5:30PM he alredy shows up, I just put the pill on the table and he jumps on it to eat it.

Great advice there: It's very important to get the pill wet before so you don't hurt the throat! (I use water and the method he mentioned. :3)

I'm very glad your channel is trending. Hopefully as many pet owners as possible will find it

I had developed a technique, and it worked many times, but now my cat seems to know how to react, so that it doesn’t work anymore. I will try now so like you show here. Thank you for your videos, they are very clear, informative and full with love to these little partners of us.

my cat would fight you!!!

I'm wondering if you could demonstrate giving eye drops to a cat. I have to give my gentle 8 y/o Archie antibiotics eye drops twice a day. He struggles and I'm not sure if any gets into the eye. Poor baby!

SQUISH THAT CAT

Great technique.

This is really helpfull! Thank you!
