Hmmm..... methinks there's a statement behind the statement!
 
lol That's pretty accurate!

I remember once getting a pink kitchen when I syringed Pepto Bismol down my kittie's throat. She jerked back and slung her head around before it really got down her throat and pink goo sprayed everywhere! Of course that wasn't quite as bad as the time she got into a fly tape and was covered in that thick, sticky goop.

Are we talking about medicating a cat or medicating a kid?
