We had a cat that was also in need of thyroid meds every day - she has since gone over the rainbow bridge, but this is a fairly foolproof way to pill a cat or dog.

Buy some Old English cheese - or Velveeta in a jar. Put the pill into a small dollop of cheese -squishing the pill into the center of the dollop of cheese to cover it. Wet your fingers with tap water, and use the water to dampen and make slippery the dollop of cheese. Put cat/dog between your knees with pet's head facing out, open the mouth of pet - insert moistened dollop of cheese. Close pet's mouth and rub pet's nose or under chin to enduce swallowing. Works every time!
