Amazing pic! I'd never heard of or seen a sheep tick; we have dog ticks and deer ticks here (the latter spread Lyme Disease, communicable (sp?) to people!). Poor Des!

That's it's body Sweet! It fills up with the blood that it sucks from the cat (or whatever animal it's attached itself too), and is all you can see on the cat. The head and legs burrow under the cats skin!

Hi Random. It's this one:

http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/pl/29-5...Compare-Prices

The reviews on that site don't seem overly enthusiastic, but I'm really happy with it!
