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
