You're referring to the tapeworm known as Cestodes?

The only remedy I'm aware of that you can get without a vet's prescription/ visit is called "Parasite DR".

I can't speak from experience as to how well it works though. It runs about $30.00.

Otherwise, tapeworms aren't dangerous, but they can keep your cats from getting vital nutrition from food. I'd suggest picking up a good multi-vitamin like Nupro to be sure your cats get all the vitamins and minerals they need to stay healthy until you can treat the issue effectively.
