Anna removed it using a small right angled tick remover, it has a slot at the bottom, a little like a claw hammer, you slide it around the tick's head and then gently twist, the tick comes out easily.

i had to remove one from my housemate the other day, im sure the kitty behaved well when it was removed. The same cant be said for my housemate who screamed a lot, i managed to use a pair of cotton buds as tweezers to remove it..
Ticks are grim but cool insects... and your pics are cool... going to freak her out some more with them...:-rolling
Poor Charlie! At least 'Poor Charlie' before it was removed so expertly, Rolf!:D
Do you think he/she would have got it from a Hedgehog or a sheep?
Great photos.:thumbsup: Ugly bug!:6:
They are really weird things. aren't they? It looks a bit like a deflated rugby ball - assume that it hadn't got started yet ;)
Think it had been going for a while, as the body is much smaller before they start feeding.
