Question
Hi there,
My sister just found very very small wriggling worms on her bed where the cat was lying. they are about 1mm in length and brownish coloured. What could they be.
Thanks!

Answer
Emma,

Remember, I am not a vet, but if I had to guess, it souns to me like tapeworm segments.  I would take a few of rhese "worms" to the vet with your cat and gte the proper medication for tapeworm and other kinds of worms.  I believe, these days, it is one pill.

Best regards... Norm.
