How do I remove a tick from my cat?
If you happen to find a tick on your cat, the best thing to do to remove it is to either use a pair of tweezers or needle nosed pliers, get as close to the skin as possible and pull the tick straight out. There is no need to need to burn it or twist it left or right - pull it straight out. You might take a little fur from the cat with the tick, or might leave a little bump, but if all the head part of the tick is removed, you're fine. When in doubt, see your veterinarian.
