How do I medicate my cat, He has to have three pills but wont eat his food with it in. He'll eat when he's starving, Right?
Your cat is in the wrong because it doesn't know what's best for it. Using gentle force is sometimes necessary in pet ownership.

You could also try these pill pocket treats first, but yes, be willing to do this if he really will not cooperate.
I suppose you could ask the vet you got the meds from for more suggestions.

Your vet or a petstore will have this syringe-looking stick thing you can use to shove pills down your cat's throat.

Yeah, get one of these. Preferrably free from your vet. PetSmart wants $10 for one. But you just put a little wet food on, then the pill, then launch the bundle into your cat's throat and he swallows it. Works wonders.
You could also try different higher-value foods. My old cat wouldn't have eaten a pill mixed with regular meals, but gladly ate it with a tablespoon of tuna every day.

It's just a shitty cat. Just throw it in the trash and get a new one.

My cat would destroy me if I used this method. I have to wrap her in a towel and make a kitty burrito when medicine time comes.
