How Can I Tell if My Cat Has Ticks?

It’s a good idea to check all cats, even indoor cats, for ticks daily. Simply run your fingers through their fur to feel for small bumps. The sooner you remove a tick from your cat the better.

 

Pay extra attention to the following areas:

 

  • In and around the ears
  • On and under the neck
  • Armpits, front and back
  • Between the toes
  • Around the tail
