Anybody have any ideas on how to get a cat to take a pill? We've tried giving it to him in hairball gel (worked once), and cheese (worked once). We have a pill syringe but we can't get him to open him mouth.

Any suggestions? Wet food won't work, he doesn't always eat that anyway.

I must be doing something wrong, because I've poked and prodded and sqeezed at his mouth and I still can't get him to open it :(. Is there a certain place to squeeze a cat's mouth to get it to open?

The hinge of his jaw? I think the idea is you get your fingers between the teeth in the back and sort of wedge them open.
