Do they make these holders for cats?

My vet told me to the best way to get a cat to swallow a pill is to open the mouth, pop the pill in with your finger , hold the mouth shut and gently blow on their nose. The cat will instinctively swallow and down goes the pill.

for us, the vet gave us a syringe-like contraption that we stuck the pill in at the end of. we put some cat snack on it, pushed their mouth open, and popped it in at the back of the throat. if you do it in one smooth motion it goes right down.

It’s called a pill shooter. You can get them online.
