I just pulled this out of my cats anus and I’m really worried is it a tapeworm of some sort of a worm and if so what should I do ?

Hello. No picture posted so I can not tell you exactly what you pupped from Simba, but it would not hurt to worm her. There are multiple preparations available to you, either from your vet or from Petco. Ask for something that gets tapeworms & Simba will be parasite free. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
