Back from the vets, with a tick-free puddy cat! It looked so simple when he removed it, and we got given Otom tick-twisters (small green things - 2 sizes) to do it at home in the future. I kept asking a million questions - esp when the vet just chucked the tick in the bin - I was like: ''but I thought you had to cut it in halves, pour petrol on it, set it on fire and scatter the ashes across the atlantic ocean''. He was very laid back about ticks and didn't seem to think they were a big deal and probably wondered why I asked questions about them as if they were a matter of life or death. I don't like it when vets don't explain things in detail, cos I have a habit of asking. Plus googling ''ticks on cats'' I read so many articles about what can happen if they're left on the cat, the diseases they can carry and risk of infection.
Anyway. Jameson got a nice portion of Feline Fayre Tuna and Salmon and now he's stretched across the bed with a pleased smile on his face.
