Picked up a new antibiotic for the cat yesterday. The instructions on the bottle, with a childproof cap no less, say, "Give one half of a pill by mouth at bedtime."
Wait a minute. We're dealing with a cat, here. Following those instructions would use up those thirty pills in about two days. My wife finally decided it meant that we should pill the cat at our bedtime, which makes more sense in some ways, but less in others. Like giving instructions to a human, "take one pill by mouth at high tide."
Molly doesn't much give a shit one way or the other, but...
The instructions are written for humans. They could have said once a day. Or once at night. Much ado about little. But humorous blog fodder nonetheless. Always good to hear cat stories.
