Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.
Well there's your problem. I have no idea what you swallowing is supposed to do. Are you hoping for some kind of sympathetic telekinetic effect?
No, you swallow with apprehension of what is about to happen...:~

Whenever there was reason to give our cat a pill, my daughter in law lived with us and she and my son gave the cat said pill. I left the house. She had plenty of experience, her mom has 20+ indoor cats and numerous outdoor ones.

Servants can take their own pills, you don't have to wrap them in towels and force their jaws open.

Simple two-step process for giving a cat a pill: remove the cat's head. Shove the pill down its throat.

Sigh. I know you don't like cats Roger, but... Giving cats pills is actually a lot easier than most dogs. Any dog bigger than about 25 pounds or so is large enough you have a hard time poking a pill down its throat far enough to keep it from spitting it back out. My English setter was adept at the 'hide it and then spit it out later' trick. Conversely, I had a cat who took 3-4 pills a day for the last four years of his life. Granted, he was an easygoing cat, but he actually ran back to the laundry room where we kept his meds when it was time. He knew that he got a treat after he took his pills. I got so good at it I could give him all of his pills at once with a single motion that only took a couple seconds. (Yeah folks, I know this is a joke)
