What do cat worms look like?
Posted by: admin : Category: cat worms
I just found my cat snifing a worm-like creature which looked more like a baby catepillar and im not sure what to look for. I dont know if this littlebug came from outside or my cat. My cat’s are stricly indoor cats and im not sure whats going on. I plan to take him to the vet but i want to make sure before i go.
It is not a tape worm. Tape worms look like little rice like segments that are usually hanging around the back end of a cat. Most likely the caterpillar worm got in your house and you cat just got curious. There are only a few intestinal parasites (worms) that you can see.

If I’m not mistaken those are tape worms.
Take him to the vet,they will give you some worm medicine.

Take a stool sample to the vet and get your kitty dewormed.

Tapeworms usually look like grains of rice and are most commonly seen on the feces. If your cats have had fleas this summer then that’s what you saw.

when you take it to the vet take a “scoop of poop” with both of you. the vet can look at both the cat and test the sample to see exactly what type of worm. that way they can give the right medicine to take care of things.
