You ever have to put antibiotic ointment in a cat's eye?
I have to do it to myself, but I'm not doing it well.

How can I wrap myself in a towel and sit on myself?

2. Make a paper airplane, put a blob of ointment on its nose...
Edited on Mon Jul-30-07 08:04 PM by Kutjara
...and throw it. My mother always said "that'll put your eye out" whenever I threw a paper plane in the house, so it's bound to end up in your eye, where it'll deposit the ointment. There's a 50/50 chance it'll be the correct eye.

3. Good luck. You will prob be able to do this one time.
After that, prob not without the help of 3 other brave souls.

Though I have had cats for 30 years, I do believe they are the spawn of satan.

I can give any cat a pill. A vet tech taught me how.

9. I had to do that in a cat's ear once. Does that count?
And let me tell you, it was one big cat. Needless to say he ( it was a "he") was not thrilled with having this done and he let me know it with those claws of his. The good news is that the infection he had cleared up quickly.
