My best friend went to RT

And I get to give drugs to her cat. The vet kindly suggested that I could try liquid antibiotics rather than attempting to feed the cat pills....

Stop by twice a day and feed cat, check.
Clean & change litter box, check.
Play with cat, brush her, pet her, check.
Give drugs to cat.... well it may be priceless at the moment, but I'm pretty sure I'll be able to put a price on this one before jennifer_dunne gets home.

I was especially pleased with the vet's "Oh, and watch for vomiting" comment.
