I really appreciated all of the input and that "How to give your cat a pill "instruction information is hilarious.My kitty is named Jewel-for "Jewel of the Nile"her brother is Taj for "Taj Mahal"-they are Himalayans.Jewel started to lose her hair at back of neck and behind ears-nothing visible causing this -no changes to care.Vet gave her Prednisone and a hormone-didn't work.Took her to the Cat "Dermatologist"and he did a scraping and thought it might be ringworm but DH and I both know what ringworm looks like and that wasn't it.Soooo we paid $300 for him to tell us to give her Chlortrimeton and watch and wait!!!Her hair is starting to grow back but she is still scratching a little.Getting ready to call him back and see if he has any other suggestions over the phone since he's seen her already.Oh and if I don't get this pill right down her throat once it starts to disolve causes her to foam at the mouth because of the bitterness-that's a real treat-Thank goodness he warned me of that or I would have run down to the emergency vet with her and do another $300 visit.I'm going to see about the "piller" someone mentioned and see if the crisco idea would cause the foaming.I'll tell ya I have 2 giant dogs and it's easier by far to almost anything with them compared to these little tigers.Well time to give another pill-wish me luck.

Good luck and please let us know how your baby is doing.
