  Wrap the cat in the blanket for your safety, leaving only the head out. Administer the hydrogen peroxide by placing the oral syringe between the cat's cheek and teeth, being careful not to squirt it down the cat's throat. Rub the cat's throat or blow gently towards the cat's nostrils to encourage the cat to swallow.
