Did you know that there’s a wrong way and a right way to removing a tick from your cat? The wrong way is to just pull it off without a plan. The wrong way is to squeeze it when pulling it. You should also not twist the tick in every which direction to remove it. What’s the right way? Pull the tick off slowly and with a plan. If you yank it off or squeeze it then the venom and toxins can go back into the cat and cause further illness. Instead, use a pair of tweezers, a tick removing tool or your thumb and index finger. Grab hold of the tick as close to the skin as possible and pull straight up with steady and even pressure. Once it’s out, you need to kill it and then dispose of it.
