We also used to use a hot match - light it, blow it out and apply it
immediately to the tick body while pulling w/the tweezers --

That's terrible! Using a hot match on the skin of the cat just to remove
the
tick - how inhuman is that? That's animal cruelty.

I'm fairly certain she meant you would just use the extinguished match on
the end of the tick, it wouldn't touch the skin of the cat.
