Why Mags? does it not help if you hold her and just pop the tablet on the back of her throat then rub so she has to swallow?

I have no problem with any of mine, even the cat I use to have that wouldn't let a vet near his mouth. I wrap them in a large towel so all claws are safely tucked away, lay them on their backs open their mouths put the tablet right to back of tongues close mouths and stroke throats until they swallow Easy peasy!!!

That was worming tablets....
Kazz, she gets very nasty if you try to open her mouth and would have my hand in no time.

My previous cat had to have tablets twice a day for most of his life and was good as gold but this one.....no way!

The knack is in how you wrap them up in the towel
