These folks are good and competitively priced.
If I remember correctly, worming tablet for the dog was $1 dollar or approx 4,071.50 Riel.
The also weigh the constantly moving, fidgety victim to ascertain the correct dosage.

Pah, those cats must've been sedated first. I've had 5 cats and none of them were as calm or docile as these once the towel appeared.

Wrap loosely? Ha ha, they'll wriggle out. Wrap 'em tight and use a bath towel so there's less chance of them getting a paw out.

Lift their head and the lower jaw will naturally fall open? Err hello, they'll clamp their jaw shut and wriggle like crazy.

Gently pop the pill into their mouth and blow on their nose to encourage them to swallow? ROFL. Better be wearing gardening gloves and hope the towel was tight and big enough that they haven't got a paw out yet.

You need 2 assistants to use one of those pill dropper thingies to get the pill right onto the back of their throat. The water syringe to encourage them to swallow is a good idea though.

Best thing to do is find a vet that makes home visits.

Mrs S rolls our Burmese on his back and puts a little pressure on the side of his jaw - his mouth pops open, she drops the tablet in, he swallows it and waits for a pat. He's not docile though, he draws blood (with me) during play. It's in the training.

Walkjivefly....it actually depends on your cat. You cannot expect that they are using feral cats that go crazy when they make such movies. My cat is extremely easy going. I don't need towels at all....just open his mouth, put the pill in and he swallows it.

I used to just put worming paste on my cats front paws. He hated "messy paws"and would lick them clean immediately
