Key takeaways
Look beyond the front door
A crawling tick can transfer from a coat, backpack or dog before attaching to a cat. Brown dog ticks may also occur in buildings, although cats are not their preferred host.
Cats need cat-safe decisions
Some chemicals tolerated by dogs are dangerous to cats. Use only veterinarian-approved products and seek help for difficult removal or illness.
