Dat 83: Instructions
The challenge I took today from Noah Scalin’s “365: A Creativity Journal” was to make instructions to do something and have someone try it out. I made the instructions. Now someone can try them out. I’ll report back when I find a participant or you can try it out & tell us how it went. Or if you have any tricks for medicating your cat.

We don’t have a cat, but good instructions. Hope you find someone to try it.
Thank you! I am sure someone somewhere at some point will use it. :)
The third-last panel is my favourite!!!
Years ago we had to give a cat some pills. Our method was very different, but,then again, my cat was relatively cooperative…..
Thanks! It’s one of my favorite secret delights, to hug and kiss kitties when they are mad. They don’t appreciate it, though! :) Glad to hear you had a nice kitty to give meds to.
Thanks for my morning chuckle! I can relate to this. I had to do this for my cat years ago and I followed most of those steps (except maybe for the hockey mask), but I didn’t have a cat piller, I had to use my fingers it took two of us. lol
Glad to provide a little smile! Somehow my fingers are too big – I feel like I’m a circus lion-tamer prying open their mouth wide enough to get a pill and my fingers in. And I’m too clumsy – the pill usually comes back out at me when I use my fingers. I feel like I spare my kitties by using the skinny Pet Piller. And kudos to you for being able to do it with your fingers! :)
I’ve given my kitties of the past meds, but never in such a well executed manner…very cool. LOVE your humor grubby Grrrl!
Thanks! I don’t know that it really goes as smoothly as I drew, but I’m glad I created the illusion of competence. ;)
Love your comic instructions! I’ve completely given up on this pill-delivery method and simply grind the pills into a powder and sprinkle over food. It works until the other cats horn in on the Rx-laden dish…
That’s awesome to have cats willing to eat their medicine. Easiest of all! And as I was drawing my comics, I was totally thinking of yours and how I always read them and am left with a smile. Then I was wondering if you scanned yours or drew them digitally to get them on your blog. They look great. I obviously took the relatively low-tech route of photographing the paper, but it doesn’t look as sexy as yours do! :)
