If you are too squeamish to remove the tick yourself you can make a trip to the veterinarian to get it removed. This could cost you some money though that you may not want to spend. Instead grab your plastic gloves and your tweezers. You grab the tick on its head right at the skin of the cat. Gently pull to extract the tick from the skin. You don’t want to pop the tick’s body though this could cause bacteria to get into your cat’s system through their skin. Make sure to get all the head of the tick out too.
You can kill the tick by with a paper towel but not your bare fingers. Throw the tick in the trash afterward. Remember do not touch the tick bare-handed at all. If you do not want to go through this removal process all the time do something to prevent ticks from getting on your cat.
