Why would you want to? Anyway, they can’t live outside the host body.

First of all that’s gross….and second no cause it will die without a host to feed off of.

Um ….NO! Gesh. Bad Idea!
1) Why would you want to ?
2) How are you going to get it out?
3) Being an intestinal parasite, it can not live outside of the intestinal track.

Only if the worm farm is in your gut.

Oh Lord. A tapeworm, if eaten by a child can grow 30 feet long in your child’s intestine!! EWWWW.
Get your cat dewormed at the vet and please don’t handle any tapeworms and be sure to vacuum up the little rice looking larvae around your house. If ONE just of those gets into a person’s mouth and is swallowed, it makes a tapeworm inside you!

No, it’s a parasite and lives off of the food in the intestines of the host, in this case your cat. It’ll die.

Absolutely not. the worm could get assimilated by another animal and then when the animal defecates, you have the source of more worms since each segment is capable of regeneration into a complete worm. Worse would be that the defecation occurs outdoors and your yard becomes infested. Kill that hungry mother day before yesterday.
