If your cat often likes to rub its butt on the ground, which looks funny, or if you find an unknown white object the size of a rice grain on your cat’s butt, it is very likely that it is infected with tapeworms. Sick cats usually show symptoms such as diarrhea, alternating diarrhea and vomiting, vomiting, and indigestion.
