Go to the vet anyway, wrap you arms in gauze and stick band-aids on your face and neck and go in there crying --My por poor baby help! Maybe they will even give you a tranqualizer too! You can take it when you get home and sleep good all night --After you take off all the fake dressings!

I have NEVER in my life seen anything like this.. and its NOT even MY CAT.. its my daughters.. but I hate those ticks and its gonna be a bad year for em this year.... at this point, I am laughing...the cat runs away from me now.. gee I wonder why... My daughter can take her to the vets..I am NOT doing that.. everyones laughing at me in this house..

alls I want in this life at my age is g.d. peace n quiet and my metal detector.. I really need a vacation.

Re: OMG CAT HAS TICK ON HINEY HOLE HELPPPPPPPPPP

Hmm...

I guess holding a lit cigarette to the cat's butt (to make the tick drop off) is out

Probably ditto on covering the tick with nail polish remover

I certainly wouldn't recommend trying both at the same time

But DO make sure you get the "operation" on video

(On the serious side, all I can think of is to spray the tick with something that won't do in the cat too. It has to be a fast application from the sounds of it (faster than the cat can react, anyway).... )

Re: OMG CAT HAS TICK ON HINEY HOLE HELPPPPPPPPPP

Might irritate the cat a bit, but what about spraying some flea & tick repellent on the area ? Might cause the critter to let go on its own.

Oh yeah, a flea & tick collar, made for cats, not dogs, might do it in as well

Coat the tick with a nice thick coating of vasalene.

Don't let the cat lick it off!
After a few minutes the tick will back off on it's own.

Roll her in a bath towel like a burrito. Put her between your legs, squeeze a bit to hold the rear legs, and use one hand to hold the tail. Get the tweezers and get as close to the head as possible and pull it out. Don't try and grasp the whole tick though. Treat the area with an antibiotic cream like Neosporin. She should be OK. Just watch her for a few days.

Some popular methods of tick removal, such as using a hot match or nail or covering the tick with nail polish, alcohol, or petroleum jelly are not recommended because they increase the possibility of the tick passing on infection to the host.

Ticks should never be touched with bare hands. It is best to wear rubber gloves during tick removal; however, in the absence of gloves, hands can be covered with plastic. Tweezers, blunt forceps, curved-tip forceps, hemostats, tick spoons, tick nooses, tick pliers, or tick sliders can be effectively used for tick removal.

The tick should be slowly removed by grasping its mouth or head. Jerking, crushing, or squeezing of the tick should be avoided.

BTW, a hot cigarette or match will mean that those are no longer fake bandages or bandaids.

My God Jim, how big of a cat do you think she has?

Re: OMG CAT HAS TICK ON HER .. OH HECK NEVER MIND

LOL....girl, you slay me! Call a vet office and ask for advice. I'm sure your not the only one with this problem. Jim has a good idea. You can tell your daughter you had it "fixed" while she was gone if you miss....ROFL.....It's probably going to take more than one person to hold that cat still.
Holding the cat behind the neck like a mother cat does while moving it helps control movement. Good luck. Wish you had this on video. LOL

Re: OMG CAT HAS TICK ON HER .. OH HECK NEVER MIND

thats pretty funny, i would also try the vasaline, or mabey vicks, the cat might not lick it off, beats the heck out of being scratched

 

[Old Dog]

Re: OMG CAT HAS TICK ON HER .. OH HECK NEVER MIND

I think putting vicks on a cat's butt would have close to the same affect as terpentine.

I'd hate to see the size of the tick that requires a .44 to kill it... But hey, I bet it would work. Man I hate ticks almost as bad as cats......
