Ok, I need some sneaky tricks to defeat Finn the wonder-blonde and his dislike of licking pastes off his fur (worming, anti-furball stuff etc). We've resorted to back of the neck absorbed applications for worming, but seriously, he refuses to lick stuff off his fur.

I put some furball mixture on him the other night, first on his paw - got wiped off on the curtain. Next on his back/side - he let it go dry then pulled out the affected fur with his teeth. I stick it in his food - he eats around the stuff then looks at me with an expression of "eww, not on your life honey", even with stuff he really likes. If I mix it in he refuses the lot and has been known to go days without touching his food.

Short of holding him and forcing the stuff down his throat, I'm running out of ideas and need to get the stuff down him as he's a medium to long haired indoor cat and has been having trouble with hairballs lately no matter how much I brush him.

Though someone who has long haired cats *did* suggest shaving him the other day....
