This short video shows the easiest and safest way to remove ticks from pets (or people). This method makes sure you don't leave any parts of the tick in the skin, which lowers the risk of infection. It's quick and simple with this tool and since it takes less than a minute, your cat won't struggle.

If your pet goes outside, he or she will likely pick up a tick or two since tick repellents do not always repel all ticks. To remove them, you don't need a veterinarian, just a tool like the one shown in this video.

Ticks can attach themselves to a cat or dog in various places, usually on the neck, under the chin, or somewhere else around the head. It's not a good idea to use tweezers or your fingers, since you could end up squeezing the blood from inside the tick back into your cat, which might contain Lyme's disease.
