They make pill pocket soft treats for both cats and dogs, and depending on the medication, some places will just make a medicated soft treat.

My elder cat was having kidney problems, wouldn't take pills, would eat around the pill to eat the pill pocket treat, and would violently shake her head if you tried using liquid meds. Eventually, I found an online pet pharmacy that would just blend her kidney meds right into a soft chew treat... unfortunately, this was several years ago, and I can not remember the name of the site I used.
