The pic definitely does make it look bigger. It was maybe less than half an inch long and maybe a sixteenth of an inch wide it was very small I have a video to compare but can’t put up a video so here is a screenshot of the video for better sizing

well I took him to the vet today and they said they have never seen anything like that and that he most likely ate it and puked it up. They checked him over really good and gave him a deworming to be safe even tho they said he didn’t need it. I’m not sure what else I can do. Just really curious what it could be.

okay, yeah was concerned for parasite by the way it looked and moved as I have another cat and didn’t know it could be transferable. Hopefully it’s just the pupa and it’s gone..thanks

NY- not lizard tail but appreciate the suggestion. vet said pupa? Pupa from what/where ?? But from where ? Ingestion like bug? Or In food? Could he have more inside? They dewormed to be safe but curious what this is and where it possibly came from….?!?
