If it doesn't hurt a bit when you pop them out you did it wrong and likely the head is still in. There should be a little ouch when pulled out. We live in down town tick central and our cats are out on the grass all the time without problems its when they get into the tall weeds on the edges of the yard we have to watch out for them or if they walk through any bushes while were taking them for walks. Normally only 1or less per year on us and same on the cats. In 30 years here I've only pulled 2 out of me and found maybe 5-6 walking on my arms same for my wife.

Its hard as fk getting them out of the cats, so much fur to get through to isolate the tick and not pull out a wad of fur along with the tick, making cats a bit jumpy...

They've gotten me a few times since I've been here and also a couple times back in New Hampshire. I've had fair luck getting them out I've only had one get really in there to the point where I had to dig the head out with the tool.

Had a bite swell up half the size of a baseball on my arm last spring and got a lyme test but in hindsight it was more likely a spider bite as there was nothing in the bite when I woke up just the swelling

I can't imagine how difficult it is checking and removing them from cats šŸ¤¦šŸ» it was a 3-day struggle just to get my cat flea powdered a couple years ago when she picked them up out on the screened porch
