My cat is about 6 years old and has lived with the in-laws for a few years as an outdoor hunter (who always got ticks). 3 months ago we were finally able to bring her back to live with us and she hasn't wanted to do much of anything but sleep and snuggle, which is very different from how she was at my in-laws' house (where she was out playing/hunting for days at a time and NEVER snuggled). Last week we noticed a longish (about 1 inch) white round worm-looking thing outside of her anus. She wouldn't let us near it, and it didn't really look like it was attached, just sitting there. It was gone the next time we saw her, but we just noticed another one today (about a 1/2 inch) that again was gone when we saw her again. She had all of her shots when she was a baby. She is a healthy size, kind of chubby but not too fat. Is this a roundworm? A tapeworm? I'm going to take her to the vet, but can't make it for a week - any thoughts/advice? Thanks!
