Our cat also had them. The egg segments are about the size of a grain
of rice. They have
an odd flopping movement when they leave the cat. Strangely, when we
upgraded our cat's
(commercial) food, he stopped getting the tapeworms, though he's eating
just as many
rodents. Not something you could intake by accident.
