The worm looked like this:

but I didn't think it was as white in color as in that picture. It
was mostly flat, and segmented, and tapered at one end.

These worms aren't all that common in cats.
Roundworms (if I'm not mistaken) are round (not flat) and smooth.

Well, I think this was a tapeworm. Do roundworms shed
rice-grain-sized segments out the annus?
No.
