If that is what it takes to get your cat to eat it, that's fine. Offer a small amount of food with the medication initially. Feed the remainder of the meal after the medication is taken. You can also ask your veterinarian if a compounding pharmacy can flavor the gabapentin or make a chewable tablet for your cat.
