Ticks

[RoastChickenDinner]

So DH has just found a fully engorged tick (is that the right turn of phrase?) on the stairs. Can't be 100% that it came from PreciousPussGirl, but most likely.

I presume I should just keep an eye on her. Is there anything specific I should look out for?

They can be the devil to find if the cat has thick long fur and before they're engorged. What's her coat like?

Did he chop it's head off, otherwise they chill out, absorb their blood meal, before returning to normal (money spider size), then laying eggs.

Give her a good brush with a fine toothed comb, parting the fur as you go. They're often around the muzzle/face area. And use a flea/tick treatment (one that's recommended by your vet).

They're bloody vile things - can't stand parasites.
