Yikes, no ****e - read it again "light it, blow it out and apply it
immediately to the TICK BODY..." What the heck good would it do me to burn
the cat? That sure isn't going to cause the tick to let go and more than
likely would cause kitty to take a big 'ole chunk out of me (and I can't say
I'd blame him/her either).

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.
