I Just Pulled Something Out Of My Cat's Butt
At first I thought it was a sesame seed and tossed it into the sink.
Then I thought, "I better take a look at that" and picked it up. It started energetically crawling around on my finger. http://home.teleport.com/~guynoir/we...stock/worm.JPG Some kind of pseudopod propels it from its back end, and some kind of proboscis extends from the front. Anyone know what it is and how contagious it might be? Thanks, John Kimmel

Your cat most probably needs veterinary treatment. Marta

Cat needs vet appoint; & a worming med (from the vet) would be a guess.

Easily treated, but does need to be seen by a vet. MaryL

The Wonderful World of Worms
Thank god for the internet. My two favorite cat health web pages have the answer: Dipylidium caninum. http://www.fabcats.org/ http://www.vet.cornell.edu/consultan...t.asp?Fun=Home guynoir wrote: At first I thought it was a sesame seed and tossed it into the sink.
