But she complied when I said "Can we get the medication in liquid form that can be squirted down the cat's throat instead of a pill we must force her to swallow?"

Yikes! Maisy would never do such a thing she just screams and tries to get away but she'd never hurt me. I've had her since she was 7 weeks old. She was adopted from Nebraska Humane Society. She is my furry daughter. I've only had to give her a pill twice. Once tapeworms because if hotels which was easy to make her eat in a kitty snack but the flea pill from last year's move was so tiny she just couldn't swallow it and it couldn't be crushed. We had to hold her till it went down. Sweetpea is smaller and easier to tricked into taking a pill but Maisy is a large cat.
