Hey Anne.. I'm guessing if you're giving antibiotics then you probably don't have the time to wait but you can get a product called "Pill Pockets" on amazon for kitties.

You can get Salmon flavoured ones too I believe. I tried these with my cat Harv and he unfortunately didn't like the pocket even without a pill in so it was no good for me but my other cat Clive goes nuts for them and hoovers them up so they work well for him.
My other solution is these - Goodgirl Catnip Drops

You can buy the 50g bags in ASDA, no other supermarkets sell them so don't waste your time looking
Both of my cats go mental for these things.. they're just like little milk treats but they're flavoured with catnip. Because of the consistency of them they're a bit like chocolate so easy to mould with warm hands. Alternatively, I sometimes spread out a few on a piece of kitchen roll and microwave them for 20 seconds to make them a bit more flexible.
3 of these catnip drops moulded into a ball work perfectly. I mould them around the tablet and make a little ball. After a couple of minutes it hardens up and as the catnip treat is a similar consistency to the tablet the cats eat it without realising. The tablets need to be quite small for this trick to work as otherwise the cat will chew the catnip treat and spit the tablet out so if the pills are big then use a sharp knife and cut the pill into smaller pieces and hide each piece with this technique. These catnip drops aren't that unhealthy and as a short term solution I wouldn't worry about how many catnip drops you have to use to get her to take the tablets
When I first started out I'd give my cats a couple of normal catnip treats first so they'd get a taste for them and then they'd take the tablet-treat without question. Harvey is so used to the routine now he just hoovers up the tablet-treat now without me having to start him off with normal treats
Other tricks.. cats can taste bitter things but they can't taste anything sweet. Usually if you crush a tablet the bitter taste is what puts your cat off. You can crush a tablet and then offset the bitter flavour by mixing it with a little bit of honey - this will mask the bitterness completely. You can then mix it in with a tiny dollop of something really tasty like cream. Again, this isn't a good long term solution but if it's just a course of antibiotics or a one off tablet then it works like a charm.
My cat Harvey has to take medication daily and he's an absolute nightmare to pill. Giving him a tablet by force is completely out of the question and it wouldn't be fair to him to do it daily so I've had to learn a few tricks. The catnip drops trick is the one I use with him as I can prepare his daily medication at the start of the week and he just hoovers it up on a morning without question
One final tip.. this depends on the kitty... my cat Harvey likes fuss when he's eating treats. If he's feeling a bit off and is turning his nose up at his tablet-treat then I usually give him a bit of fuss and get him purring and then offer it to him again. Usually the improvement in his mood is enough to get him to eat it.
Best of luck!
P.S. the key I've found to hiding a tablet in food is to make the tablet small. If the tablet is too big and your cat has to chew the food you've hidden it in then they'll detect the tablet and spit it out. If you're using big tablets, make them smaller by cutting them into pieces. Also.. cooked chicken isn't great for hiding tablets because it's crumbly and as the cat eats the chicken will fall away from the tablet. Raw chicken is much better if your cat likes it. Harvey loves raw chicken so in the past I've used a cube of raw chicken and poked a hole in it with the tip of a sharp knife. I then buried the tiny bits of tablet as deep into the middle as possible. This also worked well for me but it was too expensive and time consuming to do as a long term thing so I moved onto the catnip drops
but I saw some chicken sticks by Whiskas which felt soft so i bought these. I managed to get the pill inside and hey presto she ate it without even knowing. Hopefully it wasn't a fluke, but thanks for the inspiration
