Can indoor cats get ticks?

No matter whether your cat ventures outdoors or stays mostly inside your home, they are at risk of tick exposure. Not only do ticks cause extreme discomfort for your pet by burying and biting deep inside their skin, but they can expose them to a wide variety of diseases, such as Lyme Disease and Babesiosis.

Tick prevention measures not only protect your favorite feline from the dangers posed by ticks, they also help to keep them healthy.

Performing a Proper Tick Check

Be sure to regularly check your cat for ticks by running your hands over his/her body, starting at the head, then looking under the collar and inside the groin, as well as beneath the tail and near the anus. Don’t forget to look between your cat’s toes as well as ticks are often compelled to latch on in dark, moist areas. Also, be sure to check both inside and outside of the ears, especially if you’ve noticed your cat shaking his or her head repeatedly.

Thankfully, cat owners also have access to numerous tick preventative and control options that provide protection. Talk with your cat’s veterinarian about the best options for your pet in your area.
