It's about half an inch long and it was on our cat.
Any entomologists on here rather than etymologists freelancing for Roger's Profanisaurus?
Ah, belay the hilarity brainiacs, my daughter has googled it to be an Inchworm.

Caterpillar
Specifically, it's The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Today he'll eat an apple. Tomorrow he'll much his way through two pears. Then on Wednesday he'll chomp through three plums...
So clever my foot fell off.
It's an Omega caterpillar which will become a Great Seamaster moth.Originally Posted by Harry Smith

Definitely an inch worm .
yeah, Inch Worm
Old joke, but I laughed never the less :)
They used to be very common around here in NW London but I rarely see them nowadays. Just another species that is becoming rarer (around here at least) for no clear reason.
P.S. I recall I used to call them twiglets when I was a kid. No, I didn't eat the caterpillars.

Usually see them hanging from lime trees and the like.
Aren't the small caterpillars that commonly hang on a thread from lime trees a completely different species? They are not (in my experience) this twig-like species and are much smaller than this one.
