about 6 weeks ago i noticed moving white seasame seed shaped things on her faeces. I figured this was tapeworm and i wormed her and my other cat with a worming tablet that said it covered tape worm. About 24 hours later the worm came out, quite skinny and about 12inch long. Tonight i noticed the same seasame seed shaped things on her faeces, how is this possible? i have never had a worm problem with her before & the tablet said it covered them for 3 months! was this tapeworm? can i worm her again so soon?

Your only answer should be is consult a vet, she may require different medication,I don't know if there are different kinds of worms, maybe tapeworm is not the same as other worms. My cat has never had that problem, wonder why some cats get worms? guess I must post a question. Good luck

When the worms are killed by a worming product, they will come out dead in the faeces, so yes this would be normal.
Which tablet did you use? If it was from a petshop or supermarket, beware because they're amazingly useless. If you got it from a vets, it will have done the trick and what you're seeing is dead worms (they won't be moving!)
Do worm your cat every 3 months, prevention is better than cure.
