i saw small round squishe things on my cats hind legs tail and anus, i first thought that it might be a tape worm but from what i have read tapeworm eggs are the size of rice and these are about the size of sesame seeds, are these tape worm eggs or something different or could it be something harmless i havent thought of as this is the first sign ive seen, i dont want to get the wrong meds and waste precious time to treat her or waste money on meds when they are unneeded as money is very tight right now if it wasent i would just take her to a vet immediately.

I'm bumping up your thread since you didn't receive any answers.  It might help if you posted a picture of the little buggers (worms!) 

Also, how old is your kitten, because it's not good to use certain OTC de-wormers if they are younger than 8 weeks or weigh less then 2 lbs.

Your kitty needs to get to the vet for a deworming treatment.  It could be any number of parasites.
