    Hi, I’ve been finding these wee beasties around the house recently, they’re around 3/4 of an inch long, never seen one in the house before but quite frequently of late, I wouldn’t like to think of them getting in to the cat food and her to swallow one.

    Apologies for the bad pics.

    It's a millipede. They eat decaying bits and pieces. Hedgehogs eat them, so they won't kill your cat. Harmless little things.

    If you cleaned up your garden of leaves recently might explain why they are inside - they like damp so if no damp in house they won’t be there for long
