Just plucked and burned another tick off my cat and she is wearing a tick collar. Pretty bad this year.
Be careful kitty does not share the tick "love" with you when she comes inside. That is how I got bit the last 3 times.
If kitty has been outside she don't jump on my lap unless I've got my permethrin treated pants/shirt on. I try to give her a good once over with a flea comb when she comes inside, then feel around her scalp to check for the vampires that have stuck on.
