Oh, not nice, BM, poor Ronnie! Are you using Frontline now that they're going outside?

Lordy, another one! Maybe they are becoming more numerous. Glad you got it off OK.

After Dessie's experience I read through the leaflet in the Frontline pack - apparently it doesn't stop ticks attaching themselves to the cat, but they should drop off within 24/48 hrs.
