If your cat is bitten by a tick it could be fatal, ticks can live up to several years attached to your cat feeding on its blood (ew, too gory!) and you may not even notice them until they have fed on your cat so much that they become engorged (meaning filled to excess with blood). Ticks can also pass on diseases to your cat that can cause serious health issues and they could also pass on diseases to you and your family. Frontline will deal with the ticks on your cat and is over 99% certain that they will be killed within 8 hours of treatment.

Ticks are small, eight-legged mites in the arachnid (spider) family. They are external parasites that live primarily on the blood of mammals, and can cause many serious diseases, such as Lyme, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Tick-borne meningoencephalitis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, and Tularemia, by infecting the host with various species of bacteria through their bite. Dogs and cats are only susceptible to some of these diseases, but humans are vulnerable to all of them, so it's important to protect yourself and your pets against infestation.
Ticks are most common in wooded areas and tall grass, and tend to be concentrated along trails where deer and humans travel.

Will a cat die from ingesting tick spray?
It depends how much tick spray the cat ingested, and which specific tick spray it was. It certainly would not be good for the cat. I would strongly recommend taking the cat and the tick spray can to the vet, as the vet is more likely to be able to find the effects of the specific active chemicals on the cat's system.

What if you leave some of the tick inside a cat?
First of all . . . never pull on a tick that is attached to an animal's skin. It can break off and leave the tick's head under the skin. If that happens, then there is a high risk of infection. A veterinarian should removed the remainder of the tick, and apply and antibiotic. He/She may decide to put the cat on a course of antibiotic tablets.
