Question 1

my cat refuses to eat food with the crushed pill,  it tastes bad to her. How do you  get the pill in her?

Accepted Answer

MY cat WILL NOT eat his food if pills are crushed in them. He can taste it..
I used to have the WORST time trying to get my stubborn kitty to swallow a pill.  It would take me a minimum of an hour (..and numerous scratches) to get a SINGLE pill down his throat ...
**UNTIL I watched a YouTube tutorial on how to administer a pill to a cat.. after watching I thought "this will never work with MY cat..", but I tried anyway way and I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.. It was like a miracle! I got him to take the pill in like 10 seconds! 
I can TRY to explain it to you, but it's SO MUCH easier if you just watch ther tutorial video of them actually doing it.. 
1. place your cat in front of you, cuz they tend to back up to avoid it.
 2. Put your finger in btwn their back teeth to enforce them to open their mouth 
3. Put a little wet food on the pill so it'll slide down easier 
4. Put the pill in the back of their throat & IMMEDIATELY close their mouth, pointing their nose to the ceiling WHILE rubbing their throat in a downward motion.. 
WATCH THE VIDEOS.. They saved me so much time & energy attempting to administer the pills..(not to mention all the scratches & bites.. lol)
Good luck!

Question 2

How quickly does this kill the tapeworms?

Accepted Answer

Very quickly but it's recommended by my vet to do a second dose 2 weeks later.  
I have no problems administering pills/capsules of anything if I use, depending on the kitty's preference, chicken, fish, or BACON (most seem to truly love bacon flavor) flavored pill wraps (available as a paste on Amazon!).

Question 3

I have 2 cats do I have to buy a bottle for each?

Accepted Answer

There are 3 tablets in a bottle. 1/2 tablet for 4 lb or under cat, 1 tablet for 5-11 lb cat, and over 11 lbs 1 & 1/2 tablet. So it depends on the weight of your cats. My cat is medium-small, so I gave him 1.

Question 4

Do the bottles not come with a protective seal on them?

Accepted Answer

The one i bought from Petco on the box itself did not but the bottle had a foil seal. Be wary if the one off Amazon does not; and two sellers trying to tell us otherwise that they don't come sealed from the factory seems sketch to me!
