What are these small tan things on my bed from my indoor cat?

It could be tapeworms. When a cat has tapeworms, you see the segments of them, which look like grains of rice. You typically don't see full worms in the poop. You need to have Mudpie seen by a vet in the morning to have this diagnosed and treated.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! If you are finding white rice sized segments around Katniss's tail then I suspect you are seeing tape worm segments. Cats get tape worm from fleas and from hunting. You can always post a picture to confirm. I would deworm her with a product that gets tapeworm. Below is a link of a good dewormer or contact your Vet in the morning. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=3464 I wish Katniss the best!

It's probably tapeworms actually, very common in cats and look like little larvae, those worms arrive with fleas, which are their intermediate host, so you will have to de-flea and de-worm your cat. Make sure the dewormer you use also works against tapeworms (drontal, mylbemax, Profender).

Yes, this looks like tapeworm segments. They get tapeworms from eating rodents or fleas when they groom themselves. People can't get tapeworms from cats. Make sure you treat her for fleas and your veterinarian can prescribe medication for the tapeworms. These are disgusting but not as serious for her as some other intestinal parasites. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Delilah.

Those could be tapeworm segments. Also possible is some sort of fruit seed. The head of the tapeworm is buried in the lining of the gut. Reproductive packets break off the other end of the worms and pass out with stool or can crawl out of the rectum on their own. When they dry up, the look like seseme seeds. Tapeworms are only spread by eating fleas. Over the counter tapeworm dewormer does not commonly get the type of tapeworm that cats tend to get so I recommend to see your veterinarian, bring in a fresh sample of your cat’s stool as well as some of the yellow objects. Dani will need to be treated for fleas as well. I hope this is helpful!!! Please post again with any further questions!

These are tape worm proglottids, ie the tape worm's egg containers. Tape worm is spread by fleas. These tape worms are not contagious to people. You will need to get a cat wormer that contains Praziquantel. This will kill the tape worm. You should also do some flea prevention to prevent further infection with tapeworm.

It sounds like Sasha has tapeworms. She will need a medication call Drontal to kill them, which you get from the vet. Tapeworms are transmitted by fleas, so you will need to treat her for fleas as well. Fleas live in the environment, not on the cat, so she could have fleas even if you don't see any. They jump on to feed, and then jump off. I can give you a flea treatment for her. First, I would give her Capstar. It's a one time pill that starts killing fleas within 30 minutes. Then follow up with a spot on treatment, such as Advantage or Revolution. This is a treatment that has to be used once a month. You will also have to disinfect the environment. Wash her bedding in hot soapy water, and vacuum the furniture and carpet surfaces. You can use a spray to kill fleas in the house, such as Indorex, or a flea bomb would work well to kill the fleas in the home. I hope this helps!
