Vet Info
This is not meant to sound insensitive to the cat but in the big picture of things if it protects you from potentially dying from tick born illness I am sure your daughter would be less upset over loosing her cat than you!

This tick BS is really starting to get scary. My sis and hubby went scouting in the woods last fall with their son and pointer. Came back with over 200 ticks among them.....if this happened to me I would probably be in an insane asylum over it!

I had my property sprayed a couple of times, seemed to be effective. I used an outfit called "the tick doctor."
