Actually, I found one in the side of my thigh. I just pulled it out and burned it and went back to sleep.

I've removed worse things from my pet...a tick would be no problem.

Sure, I'd remove it! Ticks are nasty things and I'm not going to let a parasite feed off MY pet. I do some volunteer work sometimes at an animal shelter, also, and I can find myself up to my elbows in ticks sometimes. Lots of big, juicy ones there, lol! But, being a country girl I'm sure you've seen more than your fair share of them.

I would go from neighbor to neighbor with a plate of cookies and whoever did it for me gets them.

Just remove them. Nothing to scream about even tho they are SO GROSS! :)

It is a daily duty with our cat, sometimes two or three. One tip: don't pull them, TWIST them. If you twist, they come out cleanly; if you pull, they tend to leave the mouthparts behind, which may cause an infection. We have a little plastic thing called a Tick Twister. Ridiculously expensive, but it really works well.

Just pull it off and go on with life. We lived in a heavily infested tick area. The dogs and cats and even horses wold get them. Oh well, just remove and go on to the next.

I have removed many ticks from my dog. She runs around all over the place and somehow comes home with at least 4 new ticks.
