of canned cat food. If it's a pill, I crush it first. If it's a capsule, I open it and pour the contents into the canned food and mix it very thoroughly.

Since her usual diet is dry food, she eats the canned stuff eagerly as a treat. Limiting it to one teaspoon assures that she will eat all of it. Fancy Feast chicken or salmon works best with her.
