Felimazole is a treatment for feline hyperthyroidism. Missing one dose of this medication usually doesn't significantly affect the blood levels of the drug, so I would expect no negative effects from the missed pill. If you suspect that he's getting to be good at spitting out the pills once you give them (i.e. you find more around the house), talk to your vet about a liquid formulation of this medication, that might be easier for you to give. It also can be formulated as a topical medication that is rubbed inside the ear.
