There's something I call a "pill stick", into which you put it in the barrel, jam it into the cats mouth while holding their jaw and then push the trigger. Requires a little finesse but easier than other methods.

We have one of those and got pretty good at using it with our tabby. But when our tuxedo needed medicine, it did not go very well.

For him, fortunately, his medicine can be compounded into a paste that we rub inside his ear. He doesn't enjoy it, but he tolerates it. Definitely a stress saver for us.
