Anyone recommend one that is easily taken in the food? For a feral cat at the yard, no chance whatsoever of catching her, she is barely happy to cross the yard when I am at the other side. And I really don't want to trap her and stress her, but she does have a pouch of wet food daily, or some sardines so a good chance of her taking something if it isn't too unpalatable? (She came from a charity, wormed flea'd and spayed but has recently lost weight after being out hunting so suspect worms)
 
Panacur do granules, which all of mine will eat without any fuss on food. Alternately, cut up a worming tablet and wedge it in some treats and put in the bowl - the yard cat would wolf those down without chewing although the house cats won't touch them.
 
Milbemax is the most palatable wormer but some cats will even see through that :-)
Profender is a spot on wormer but is about £10 each.
Both are vet only
 
Ours dislike Milbemax yet take Drontal which are oval in shape as opposed to round. They take them amongst a small serving of cat kibble so don't notice until it's too late. Could you hide amongst kibble?
