Well actually not ticked off, but the tick is off. I thought ticked of was a catchy title. Anyway, yesterday I'm about to clean my cats ears and I notice a white bump on her. On closer inspection, I realize its a tick feeding on her. She's an indoor cat and never had one before. We have been burning wood lately and I'm assuming a tick came off the wood and jumped on her.
Brandi, I tried the soap and cotton ball trick and it did not work. I tried pulling it off with treezers, but Shelby cried. I didn't know what to do, so I covered the tick with globs of vaseline. About 90 minutes later my husband came home and he attempted to take the tick of with tweezers. Because of the vaaeline, the tick was easier to remove. The cat now has a red bump where the tick was feeding. I am just so glad I noticed it. I usually only clean her ears a couple of times a month. I don't know what made me decide to do it yesterday.
