Dear Kitty Doctor. My youngest male kitty has a

strong attraction to gel caps. I order my (human) nutrient supplements in gel (bovine) capules and have recently discovered that my cat, Cubby Bear, has been turning over the trash cans to fish out the gel caps. When I catch him in the act, he runs like he has been caught with a great prize. What am I to do? Does anyone else have this issue? These are very large caps. I have to bite and squeeze the oil into my mouth. I was throwing them away until I discovered that Cubby was stealing them from my trash. Now, I'm just tossing them into the toilet in hopes they will dissolve.

or toilet. Get a glass jar with a lid, put the gel tabs there, store it in the fridge.
