This is a common description of tapeworm segments. You would need to submit them and a stool sample to your veterinarian to definitively diagnose specific intestinal parasites. If your cat does have tapeworms or other parasites, your veterinarian can dispense the appropriate medication. It will likely need to be repeated in 2-3 weeks. You will also need to treat Jax and the environment for fleas since that is how cats become infected with tapeworm.
