Hilarious 10-Step Guide Goes to Extreme Lengths Explaining How to Give a Cat a Pill
Getting a cat to swallow a pill can feel like a full-contact sport, and Nick Filippou turned that struggle into comedy gold. His 10-step guide for I iz Cat takes a painfully familiar pet-owner problem and stretches it into something absurdly dramatic.
Nick says he has dealt with the real-life version of this battle with his own cat and shelter cats he volunteers with, which makes the joke land even harder. The result is a playful, over-the-top walkthrough that cat owners will recognize instantly, even if they would rather forget it.

Step #7 This Means War
Step #8 Fire!
Step #9 Shadows
Step #10 Rest
Currently, Nick only has one cat, Minnie. “She was formerly a feral cat from Little Flower Rescue, and I got to meet her as a volunteer. I fell in love immediately.”
“I had another former feral named Sylvia, who sadly passed away last year,” Nick said. “She was a tortoiseshell cat with three legs. I adopted both of them at the same time about four years ago. Sylvia had some serious tortitude, but she was a loyal and very cute cat. I miss her every day.”
Nick's cat clearly has a backstory worthy of the drama.
This “cat pill war” energy is similar to the woman whose abusive ex tried to hold her cat hostage, but she won.
In response to Nick's guide, people shared their own experiences on social media about administering pills to their 'fur demons.'
And of course, other cat owners had plenty to say.
It's Legit...
