I note that Rana has added us to her list of Fellow Travellers, a gratifying development. And I’m going to try that method of dosing the cat. (I think only sweaters take a verb form of "pill," and as for bathing her, my preferred method – other than letting the beast do it herself – is to get a pack of “cat wipes” and rub her down. It becomes a battle for supremacy, but I’ll take the hits.)
