Hi,

I just found a small, red worm on my bed where my cats sleep.
No fleas in sight.
Does anyone know what this might be, please?

Thanks so much!

I have no idea. Tapeworms from fleas are like white grains of rice. Keep the worm and take it to your vet - that's the best advice I could give you.

Yes and if possible bring one of your cat's stools with you so the vet can check it out. You can put one in a ziplock baggy and keep it in the fridge until you can get there. But the stool has to be at least 4 hours "fresh" when you baggy it.

Better yet check with your vet!
