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.

Some are, some aren't. I have a cat who adopted me and she is an outside cat. My mom has an inside cat. Depends on the cat.
How do you get a tick off a cat?
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! :)
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.
