Bugra, some folks seem to have no problems giving their cat a pill. Some use a treat called a Pill Pocket purchased form the vet. My cats refused to eat the Pill Pockets. I never successfully pilled any of my cats using a pill shooter. They get all their pills crushed, mixed with food and syringed. Pequita will lick her meat baby food of a spoon with her meds mixed in. That's the best I was able to do.
You are definitely not the only person in the world that can't pill a cat.
