For anyone out there struggling with their cat during pill session:
- wrap it in a towel, like a cat burrito;
- hold the pill with your thumb and index fingers and use the middle one to open the corner of the cat’s mouth;
- it’ll open its mouth very briefly, during that time you’ll have to aim and let the pill go towards the back side of its tongue, near its throat
If you do it right, it’ll swallow the pill reflexively.
The way I understand it, trivial is something that takes little to no effort to accomplish; naive, without previous knowledge or without solid assumptions about a problem.
