hold your cat down then find the tick and try not to get any fur because it might hurt your cat put your finger on the tick (you can wear gloves) and just turn/roll (not twist) it in one direction until it comes out. If you don't understand what I'm saying you can also use this method although I don't recommend it because it hurts your cat much more. Use some sticky Duct Tape to pull it off since when you squeeze the tick it releases poison to your cat. Both methods work on humans and dogs.
hope this was helpful! :)

∙ 12y agohi, i have 3 cats and many of times they have come home with those nasty little things on them. there is one method which i made up myself and i have stuck with it as it has always worked.
here goes:
as soon as you see the tick, you need to do something, you don't want it to suck too much blood out and it will get very VERY big.
get hold of your cat and smother Vaseline all over and around the tick, this might suffocate it..leave it for about 30 minutes.
now you need to get a small cup/bowl and put some strong alcohol in it.
get hold of your cat again and give it a fuss.
get a pair of tweezers and get the tick as close to the skin as possible. (you don't want to leave too much of the tick in) pull the tick straight out, do NOT twist as it will DEFINITELY leave some behind and more than you want!!!
put the tick in the alcohol as it is poison and it will die!!! leave it in there for about 20 minutes to make sure it is defiantly dead!
now get the Vaseline again and smother it over where you pulled the tick out (just in case the head is still in here) it will suffocate it as the air sac has gone. soon the remains of the tick will drop off your cat.
IMPORTANT:
after pulling some of the tick out, don't get the tweezers again and try to pull the rest out. the tick will of figured out something was going on and would try to go in further.. it will make matters worse.
this process will NOT hurt your cat.. i always have someone else fussing my cat whilst doing it.. they always purr ..
hope this helps.x

∙ 15y agoMy advise it get your vet to do it but if you use tweesers and pull on the tick hard they should come off

Will your cat die if she licked tick and flea poison off her neck?
No
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.
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.
There's a lump on your cats tail what should you do?
Part your cat's fur at the lump and try to identify if the lump is part of the cat, or something on it. If it is not part of the cat, try to identify what it is. If it is a burr, remove it gently with your hands or a brush. If it is a tick, grab the tick's body and SLOWLY pull it off.
What can be done if your cat has gotton poisoned by dog tick medicine?
