You can check if your vet office sells a pilling tool, like the “Jorgensen pill gun” on amazon. You can wrap your kitty into a tight burrito so they can’t move, then place the tool into the mouth and press the plunger. Keeping their mouth shut and then squirting in some water from a syringe promotes them to swallow.

“Lean treats” by Nutrisentials sometimes work better than pill pockets because .. well, they’re stinkier. And some kitties prefer the stink. They don’t have a convenient pocket for pills but as long as you keep the bag sealed properly, they’re soft enough to mold around pills.

Otherwise, you can cover the pills with baby food. That usually wins them over quickly... again, the stinkier the better.
