Wow, a home-made piller!  Aren't you the ingenious little cookie?!  I like the idea of the Nutrical in the syringe behind the pill, pleasant tasting way to help it slide down their throat.

With the hand opening the cat's mouth, use one finger to hold the lower jaw down so the cat cannot close the mouth and then with the finger that has the goo/pill  on it stick the gob on the back of the tongue or down the throat. This always works for me, even with cats hard to pill.  Another version is to cut the tip off a 1 cc or 3 cc plastic syringe so it has a wide opening, suck up some Nutrical or other goo in it, stick the pill in that, and use the syringe like a piller to pop the pill and goo down the cat's throat.
