Not so theoretical question: If a feral cat ran in your house and you can't find it and don't even know if it's there anymore, how would you find out?

I would simply jiggle a bag of cat food until the cat appears. Failing that I would just move out

I'm not speaking in euphemisms, one of the half-wild cats that hang out around the outside of the house ran in and I can't find her and since I haven't had a sighting she could still be in here. The last time and place I saw her was in the bathroom hall about 24 hours ago. It's possible she just ran back out the way she came in when I went to get my wife but gently caress if I know. We have cats and they're acting normal but I have reason to doubt their perceptiveness on this matter.

1. Look for the cat outside. 2. start searching the house top to bottom basically. dont overlook furniture with space in them. 3. march from room to room banging pots and pans til the cat flees or the cops are called.

Instead he lost his nerve and backed out. He was zooming around the house passing real close to Vasco, stopping in front of him, then running off, repeat again for half an hour before this. One day Pudding, you'll wrassel.

A kitten came and visited quill the other day and I just found out that the kitten had some worms in it's poop (unknown amount, no photo, etc). I'll call the vet tomorrow but how concerned should I be? The kitten was playing all over my living room but didn't like drink/eat from the same container or anything like that. Quill never really came near the kitten but has been on the same blankets and poo poo since that time. Quill had dewormer ointment when I got her about 1.5 years ago. She's acting normal. Anything I should do in the meantime besides be very frustrated that the kitten wasn't also given deowormer? The person is saying that the vet 'checked and didn't think [the kitten] had worms so they didn't do deworming' which kinda smells like bullshit to me since that kitten was rescued from a literal garbage container. My brother had his dog here since then as well so I'll have to let him know. Super frustrated.

Considering the prevalence of worms in kittens, you'd think it'd be different and vets would be more prepared to do a fecal test to detect worms.

Thanks. It just blows me away that a rescued cat from a garbage can wouldn't be more investigated or treated prophylactically. No fleas I don't think and I actually mopped the floor extensively after that cat was here because Christmas poo poo. Ugh.

Because of this, you should notify your veterinarian when tapeworm segments are found in your cat's stool. my translation: a single sample likely won't have any tapeworm segments in it even if the cat has a worm, so it's up to the catte's butler, who is the person that gets to see all the poop (if they so choose) VelociBacon posted:Thanks. It just blows me away that a rescued cat from a garbage can wouldn't be more investigated or treated prophylactically. it sounds like despite how gross it is, a tapeworm does little or no harm to the cat. if this were otherwise, i'd guess lots of vets would just prophylactically prescribe a deworming pill, but since there's no harm in waiting, lots will choose less intervention i'll also go out a little further on this limb and guess that vets might not want to bother deworming a freshly rescued cat until the owner has any flea situations well under control, and that can take months (because fleas loving come back if you don't nuke them properly (ask me how i know)). deworming meds don't prevent future worm infestations, they just kill the worm(s) currently in the cat, so until you're sure all the fleas and flea larvae are dead, there might not be much point in deworming

I'm not really grossed out and I'm a lot less stressed knowing that this isn't the kind of thing that transitions to heartworm etc. I mistakenly thought the deworming ointment that Quill (and all new kittens?) got was for 'all worms' but I guess it was just bloodstream worms or something. Should I be examining Quill's feces for worms? I work in human healthcare and I'm not put off by this in the slightest. Yes I'll be calling my vet regardless. I'm still up at 6am unable to fall back asleep thinking about it but Quill is happily asleep between my legs so I should follow her lead.

Man, my vet is super militant about dewormer and insisted on deworming Niko (despite records of him being dewormed in-shelter) because she didn’t think the shelter’s was thorough enough. He came to the shelter with fleas though, so maybe she was right. There’s a lot of different fecal parasites, but tapeworm specifically is pretty identifiable. A roommate’s cat got tapeworm and she ID’d it because there were, what appeared to be, little grains of “rice” where Marzipan slept.  Anyway here’s a palate cleanser:

Where did we get that it was tapeworm from? VelociBacon didn't say that initially, did they? Could have been roundworm.

VelociBacon didn't say that initially, did they? Could have been roundworm. Yeah the owner of the kitten found small worms in the rear end area of the kitten and those kind of things on the bedding. I saw a photo and it looks very much like what I see online for tapeworms. Thankfully I have a washer/dryer and I've just put everything through them. I never saw the kitten scratching and Quill hasn't been acting like she has fleas either. I called the vet this morning and they weren't super concerned - they advised monitoring for signs of tapeworms and going from there. They didn't seem keen to deworm without seeing worms in Quill's poop/fur/bedding, which is fine by me. She's going in next week anyways for vaccines so they'll take a look then. Thanks everyone for easing the stress. e: Quill enjoying a couch:  Quill not enjoying me vacuuming that couch (vacuum fell beside her when she was a kitten and she's hated it since):
