Oh Jesse! Poor kitty! Poor you!
I made a horrible mistake and walked to the grocery store. I wore 3 pairs of pants, two sweaters, two socks, two hats. I had to call Lyft to go home- the wind was too cold.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Jesse, cats get tapeworms (if that's what it was) from infected fleas. I don't think the worm pieces are contagious. Speaking from experience, they're gross when you realize what they are but nothing a good vacuum cleaner can't take care of.
I think it was some other kind of worm? But either way, they should be gone soon, fingers crossed.

Yikes! But thank goodness for Lyft. A coworker offered me a ride home last night, and I was going to say they could just take me to the subway, but by the time we got to her car (which was close!!), I gave it up and took the ride.
If it was visible segments, it was tapeworms -- speaking from too much experience!
Anyway, as others have said, they're relatively harmless and easy to treat, if super icky. Don't beat yourself up.
So, is the moral of this story "Look at your cat's butt more"?
Isn't that really the moral of every story?
Lordy I hope not
That's what they keep trying to hint at, but...
Mine seem to helpfully present theirs to my face whenever I'm trying to nuzzle them, so I guess they're vigilant about the potential problem. Yay?

I mean, possibly, but I'm going to stick with "Bring a new cat to the vet."
