I LOVE that idea! One of our resident cats is a pain to give meds to so I'll give it a try!

And yes, Bo is half (or so) Bengal. He came to us completely feral but needed those meds so he didn't go the TNR route. He's turned into a super friendly guy who craves getting pets - just took a bit to get there. He's also basically vocal chords on four legs - sings all day long.

If anyone is interested in adopting, he's listed with MEOW in Calgary, Canada!

Sounds like a Bengal to me!

When modding the syringe, I find it easiest to remove the plunger, and using a drill bit from the inside that is slightly smaller than this inside diameter of the syringe. 1/32" leaves enough of a lip to still stop the plunger in my experience, but YMMV depending on the plunger style.

We had a 5ml syringe with a fully plastic plunger (no rubber) that was amazing. Eventually lost it and haven't been able to find a replacement yet, but rubber tipped plunger are fine too, just wear out faster.
