Need help administering meds to cat

My cat was prescriped itraconazole, it is the exact capsule in that photo. But we have a problem: I will not let my cat swallow a capsule, I am way too afraid it’ll get stuck in her throat. But opening capsules is advised against too (or so I’ve read). I did open one just to see if there was a way to maybe mix it in food, and boy, this medication is what I imagine rat poison smells like, awful. How do you guys administer capsules to your babies? Any tips?

Saddest kitty ever

Poor Tiggs has a shaved belly, no meow and has spent all evening with his back to me because he's so mad at me for taking him to the vet. But he still wants pets 🤷
