It's a good question because I just found 3 on my dog in the same spot. That's how I found this question, by doing a little research to figure out if it's normal. One tick was huge, and the other 2 were smaller & right beside the larger one. It made me wonder if it was a mama tick who had two baby ticks with her. My poor dog...he gets monthly meds, but it doesn't always work well on ticks.
There are several monthly topical spot-on treatments available for cats that will repeal ticks (and fleas, generally) for one month - your veterinarian can help you determine which of the products would be best for your cat.
I am not aware of any ointment, but there are several different spot-on liquid medications that are effective at killing fleas and ticks. The leading brands in the United States are, in no particular order: Frontline, Revolution, Advantage and several others.
From how I understand it ticks have chemoreceptors, or organs that can spot chemicals in the air. In a tick's case the chemical is carbon dioxide, which is excreted into the environment anytime any living organism breathes out.
The odds are extremely low.
Horses do get ticks, they can just be hard to spot. The most common areas are under the jaw line, inside the ears, on the stomach and under the tail head.
no.
I think they are having a opening. In this month.
Doesn't mean much either way. The only thing having a beauty spot tells you is that you have a beauty spot on the ear.
Yes the boys will like it.

This will depend upon the specific medication, but the general rule of thumb is 24-48 hours before a full kill will be noticed.
