Oh no. Tell me it isn't!

Just let me say, EW! So... I found a worm on my beloved cat and, anyone who knows me, knows my intense phobia of parasites. My first thought was how to dispose of her without the kids knowing but... I am too attached to her now. So, I have to be a man and take care of this the proper way. After tipping her upside down and shaking her a few times, I could still hear them taunting me inside her belly. Argh!

Apparently it is a common thing for kittens to have roundworms. I am just afraid of them popping out and dropping all over the floor or something. Ewww I say again. BLEH! I have no photos for this particular blog entry... but let me go find something clever.

Ok so... picture this, but without the guitar and hat. And not an earthworm either.

In fact, the irony is great because we just started reading How to Eat Fried Worms as a bedtime story.

I remember dissecting these darn things back in college in my zoology class. Granted, this one was like 3mm. Except when it did that freako stretch out to 2 ft thing. Ugh. But the ones in zoology were stiff, dead and about 6 inches long. Naaasty. I HATE parasites. I still can't eat pork to this day due to a slide I saw once in AP Bio in high school - this nasty little pink thing in the tissue of a pig. Bleh.

So... don't worry. Jacket still gets to live here but she is in locked in a ziploc bag until I can get her medicated.

Oh stop. I have at least three air holes in it.
