When a cat has tape worms you will probably have to give them pills. The best way to administer pills to a cat is to put the pill as far back in their mouth as possible and then hold their mouth closed and rub their throat. Rubbing their throat makes them swallow. My male cats took it better then my females.

Are cat tape worms contagious?
They can be.Related Information:If your cat has had the tape worm for a long time, it can latch onto your cats small intestine and eat all of the nutrients out of the food without your cat getting it. But if you treat your cat early then you can easily get rid of it. It is kind of hard to get rid of a tape worm that has already latched on to your cat. Surgery might be necessary, which of course, is dangerous also. Bottom line: early detection and intervention is important.
