I just found this weird worm creature on one of my cats.
It looks like a tiny tapeworm.
Luckily both cats are going to the vet in like two hours.

Any of you guys know how to identify parasites? It looks like a small white worm, but it can, like contract into a tiny ball.

Tapeworms are usually inside the intestines. Where did you find it?

It was crawling nearby her on a cat-tower plaything.

Most single celled. *Sigh*

By cat got them. Just give your cat a pill the vet gives you. You will most likely have to wrap it in bacon or something, of force feed it to your can.

I think that is what it is.

You hold their mouth open, place pill in their mouth, then rub their through and they swallow.

Or something like that.
