I just found a tick on my cat today and we smothered it with Vaseline and we’re waiting to see what will happen in the next few hours. I was using a Hartz spray to “prevent” fleas and ticks. But I just now read that it’s not as good as other sprays and spot on medications. So any advice for future prevention would help.
