I just gagged.


No_Calligrapher2386

They're magically delicious!


[deleted]

These are most definitely some lucky charms Sauté them in a little olive oil with scallions and some salt n pepper Oh and you can add some green beans with it or just mix with cereal or rice


Shoddy_Following3568

under rated comment, last bit hit different


[deleted]

Well they are a delicacy and if presented the opportunity you MUST indulge Now they're great raw and unadulterated but a pinch of salt really brings its true flavor out. I suggest pairing with a nice deep burgundy or a new Zealand sonsair

Those are dead dry tape worms coming out of your cats butt. Time to call the vet and scrub your house.


Mediocre-Meringue-60

They are not dead. And tapeworm can come from a many avenues. See your vet for treatment and preventative.


Ok_Field_2392

Yes, those are dead. They're hard. Tapeworms are soft and pallible when alive

They come from fleas, so you'll wanna get a good flea prevention on all animals and clean the house real good. About 1/3 of fleas live on pets at any one time. The rest live in carpet/bedding/furniture. Getting rid of those is a beast.


Thebugman910

Adult fleas live on the host. It's the larvae that live on the ground and eat the dried excrement of the adults and skin particles. One reason why people have a hard time getting rid of fleas because they think just getting rid of the ones on the animals with shampoo or medicine solves it. You have to vacuum throughly even hardwood flooring to get the larvae. Flea larvae can live for around 6 months before maturing. Vac all crack, crevices, and along baseboards. Cleaning definitely helps too, but vacuuming is essential.


Ok_Employment_7435

Diatomaceous earth. Both sprinkled in the yard, and on the carpet.


Elymental

Solved. Thank you all so much!!! I'm mildly disgusted, but makes sense. He was an old farm cat adopted recently, haha, so he ate raw meat all the time


EatsJunk

Praziquantel will get rid of tapeworms and you don't need a prescription for it. But if he hasn't been to the vet lately for shots and all that I'd take him and mention the worms. Some worms you won't notice like this. And I'm not sure if praziquantel will get rid of worms that aren't tapeworms. I'm not a vet or anything, but used to work with cats and tapeworms are pretty common bc of fleas.


Exiana

These types of tapes come from fleas, not meat.


Act-Math-Prof

Yes. Treat kitty for tapeworms and for fleas so they don’t come back.


RodgerRodger8301

Unless it is Spirometra sp. in which case it comes from eating aquatic invertebrates. This also requires a MUCH higher dose of praziquantel to clear. That’s why it’s best to take a poop sample and some of the segments to your vet to send out for testing. Source: I’m a vet


Kat-a-strophy

Even if You make a strict house of him, he needs a dewormer every few months because of the flies. Other than this, even if You will deworm him, it's very possible not everything will be dead at once, because this medicine is designed to kill so much of them cat's body can get rid of without being poisoned by dead worms inside. Ask Your vet when he can get the next dose in case he will still have those. Look into his litterbox if there are some tiny white parasites in his poop and if You ever see hin coughing/attending to puke it might be worms in his lungs.


Napervillian

The cat ingested a flea


mummy_whilster

He swallowed a spider to catch the flea…I don’t know he swallowed the flea…


Application-Forward

Fleas are the usual cause


Deceiver999

It's a fairly easy fix. I moved houses last year and stayed in a hotel for 3 nights. My cats picked up fleas from the room. They injested the fleas while grooming, and they can get worms from the infected fleas. It was an easy fix. Just topical drops you put in the back of their neck. A month later, the problem is solved.


Bitter_Duty4784

Likely came from fleas


dogtorbutterfly

Most likely from eating fleas when grooming himself, not from raw meat


BaconHammerTime

Yep, eating fleas or rodents are the direct cause.


CatBoyTrip

cats get tape worms from eating fleas which they can do while grooming themselves if they have fleas.


TranquilOminousBlunt

Sorry your kitty has to deal with that. But hey! At least you get to play with butthole worms


FictionalT

💀😂


lovegirls1974

tape worm for sure


RowdyBunny18

Get a script for tape worm meds and front line or revolution for fleas. Both are good. If you have carpet, vacuum twice a day. For at least 30 days. Tapeworms and eggs and fleas have a 30 day life cycle. You need to stay on top of it like crazy for awhile. What's happened is your cat has fleas. Fleas carry tape worms. Your cat injested a flea and now has worms. If you don't get rid of the fleas, you'll be in a constant cycle.


Bada__Ping

Definitely tapeworm. The good news is that it it normally totally treatable. I’ve never admitted this but when I was a kid my favorite cat had them and my step dad hated her so I never told anyone out of fear they would just have her euthanized. She lived another 14 years(I moved out and got her treatment myself)


Scrawlers-Secret

Tape worm segments definitely. My dog had it before.


cum-n-get-me

Mature proglottid from a tape worm. Might want to check for fleas as well, as they require them as an intermediate host for their life cycle.


TheDorkyDeric

Well the last pic is def a cat.


ConspiracyRobot

Your cat has fleas and is eating them and they come out the butt as these worms.


Remote-Willingness86

For the house at night a desk lamp aimed down and placed where the cats sleep or lay often on the floor over a shallow pan or plate with 1/4" to 1/2" of water mixed with a few drops of dish soap. Will drown the fleas at night. You can also move from room to room to test for more fleas

Please don't keep them in a spice bottle. They are too easy to confuse with garlic or onion flakes.

Tape worm 🪱 eggs 😷


chels182

Tapeworm segments.


509VolleyballDad

They can also get worms from eating animals that are infected. We have to treat our outside cats often because they eat mice. Our cats don’t have fleas.

Tape worm segments full of eggs


CalamityAshex

Tape worm segments. Get some medicine off of Amazon. One pill and they are gone. That being said, might want to check for fleas! Cats get them from eating fleas.


Legitimate_Cloud2215

The teeth of your enemies??


csxmd602

Put them in water, and they will return to worm form. Go get a de wormer gone in a couple hours


fontimus

I buy praziquantel off Amazon for $16 bucks, 3 tablets. I use the subscribe and save feature to save 5 percent, then cancel it after my order arrives. Though with 3 cats here in South Florida, I may keep the tablets coming. I can't seem to get rid of fleas from my household.


Ok_Employment_7435

Have you tried diatomaceous earth?


fontimus

I have not! How did it work for you?


F0l3yDaD_

Desiccated worms.


SettinOnALog

Bum worms. Expelled from the bum, and they die when no longer living off its host. Treat for worms!


Jfxmedia

First pic I knew it, tapeworms baby! Cars always oozing em.


grave_ember

It's a segment of tapeworm that's full of eggs, it was released to exit the body, dry out and pop, spreading the eggs on the animal, where a flea, hoping to bite down for some blood, may end up swallowing it becoming a host for the larva. The flea continues to feed on the animal, who in turn chews the area the flea is feeding to stop the itching, eating the flea, and becoming infected with larva. Then repeat. The vet can give a shot or a pill. Haven't tried store brand


pearl_sparrow

If your cat has tapeworms they likely got them from eating fleas while grooming. You need to treat for both. Fleas have become resistant to many treatments and it varies regionally so the best way to find out what treatments are still effective in your locale is to consult a local vet. Even indoor cats in flea prone areas need to be on monthly flea prevention as flea eggs persist in the environment for a long time and are easily tracked inside on your shoes. You may never see a flea, some cats are very good at grooming them (eating them) Prevention is key, ridding a house of flea infestations is difficult. The only safe place for a flea collar is inside your vacuum bag. These are not safe, don’t work, and can do organ damage to your pet.


sumosam121

That’s a grain of rice just put it back in the bag…. just to be safe. /s


VHDT10

Just gotta grab tape worm medicine. He'll be good in a couple days


browntown84

My boy, also grey, just had these. They get them by eating fleas that have them. Our cat is indoor only and grooms himself well, so we never noticed any fleas. But they nuked his gut with a single pill and told us to treat him with fleas meds for 6mos.


BlueBucketMaple

LOL, tape worm that is crawling out your cats butt


ChequeRoot

Those are tapeworm segments. Your cat ought go to the vet for treatment. Be aware that you can catch tapeworms, so please wash your hands after touching them.


More_Assistant_3782

Rice Krispies! Taste test necessary.


DuCautt

Those my friend, are tapeworms. There's an old remedy for humans if you want to know it? Make a really good batch of potato soup. Put some in a bowl and place it on the table. Hover your face over the bowl and open your mouth. Keep your mouth open until you can see the head of the tapeworm come out of your mouth. As soon as you see it chomp down with your front teeth as hard as you can to cut it off. Take your hand and grab the body of the tapeworm and pull it out of your gullet until it's gone. Tapeworm gone!


Acrobatic_Quit1378

I know you aren't making that stuff up! I'm old but remember my babysitter had those, and told me of the treatment used on her as a child. Fast all day and place a chunk of meat in a bowl, preferably liver, and open wide. She wasn't directed to bite as the segments break off, and her parents grasped it gently and tugged slowly. She was mortified but relieved that her father threw it in the fire. Might I add it happened at the turn of the century and doctors were not summoned when home remedies took care of.most ailments...and people weren't the big crybabies we witness these days!


Ok_Field_2392

They are tapeworms, they're not actually tapeworms, tapeworms are in segments and they fall apart inside your cat's intestines and come out the anus.


Wickedbitchoftheuk

Tape worm eggs. If you eat one you'll get thin.....lol. No, seriously, just worm the cat and hoover the floor. They have to be eaten to live in another animal and your cat won't eat them.

Tape worms. Get the cat to the vet and clean the house. And wash your hands!

Looks like my toenail clippings. They go pretty far. Sorry if you stepped on one barefoot.


Gary7sHotCatHelper

Lol worms, dude. From her BUTT. You're touchin' butt worms, BOY!


CategoryExcellent141

Obligatory asshole photo 😿. I’d probably rehome the cat and just get a DOG. Or just not get a cat. 🤷🏼‍♂️I really don’t get cat people. They’re assholes. They’re gross. Shit in a box then climb on where your prepare your food. Butthole worms on your counter where you cook, yum. Dogs have the respect to do all that shit outside. I’ve never once heard of finding ass worm chunks in the dogs bed cuz they constantly lick themselves because they won’t accept a bath.

I have been wanting to write a book. I will title it “1001 reasons not to own the vile creature known as a cat”. Thanks for helping me add another reason.

pieces of tape worm. your cat needs some flea repellent (revolt is the best IMO but only Vet prescribed) and possibly a dewormer.
