I just took 2 ticks of my cat’s head and now there is scabs on her head. What should I do? She doesn’t seem to be in pain or anything, but I just want to know how to get rid of them. She is an outdoor cat btw.

Two weeks ago our vet removed two ticks from our cat’s neck. We purchased Frontline but got busy and didn’t put it on our cat. Today we found another tick on our cat and my husband removed and killed it. Now we are freaking out thinking these ticks are in our house! We really cannot afford a three hundred dollar extermination. What can we do? Are they really in our house?

Last week I found this really ugly looking beetle – then about 3 days ago I found a tick that my son picked up when outside playing. Then the next day my husband tells me that he found a "full"tick (which was the same as the ugly beetle I found) – then today I found another "full tick" on the wall.
All of our animals (two cats and one dog) are on prevention – but I have also just bathed them all and re applied the prevention & sprayed the carpet with flea and tick killer – where are these things coming from and who/what are they feeding on?
I haven’t seen one on any of the pets – they are all on Advantage/K-9 Advantix. Most of the ticks we are finding are crawling in the house full of blood…..
I need to figure out how they are getting in the house – to keep them from getting in and how do I kill them now that they are in here?

I found a tick on my cat, and I suspect he has more ticks/fleas. My guardian didn’t put his medication on him "because she thought he didn’t need it."
Angry at her.
He has crawled on everything, been laying with me in my bed.
She’s yelling at me but if he has ticks do I have reason to be freaked?
CAN THEY HURT ME?
CAN THEY GET ON ME?
What should I do?
Should I bathe in dawn or something?
This is serious, i am freaked!!
I saw another bugger.
And he was biting…
very nervous.
Am I just being rediculious?

Well it all began when this black and white cat Just wondard on land and we fed it.Then my friend gave me his cat.Then a male cat got both of them pregnet.They both had kittens.Then their kittens had kittens when they was old enough.Then it just keep going on.know we have like 20 cats.But all of them are outside and we fed them and give them water every day like three times a day.I just want to know is this animal abuse cause we have so many?Most of the cats are very healthy and clean i dont see ticks on them but i am not shure.They dont got fleas either i think.The male cat getting them pregnet is like most of the girl cats brother.Do that cause any thing when the kittens are born?
But mainly Is that consider animal abuse?
When the cat came to my house it was looking for something to eat and i gave it something to eat and it just stayed.I thought i was doing something good.Only reason i got so many is cause some random male cat Get here pregnet.How is am an animal abuser.Also i Have 2 acres of land so the cats can run freely.Basicly i dont own them but they only come around when they know i feed them.They are used to the time i put food out for them lots of food and lots of water.And there is a little stream i think they get water from.somedays i clean they cats that will let me hold them.Also the cats arent wild .all they do is sleep,eat,and meow.They never scratch anybody who comes to my house.I will try to get cats fixed.And take most of them away.if i do that will that still make me an animal abuser.Also there is lots of land for the cats to run about.I hardly see them until i feed them and when they sleep
