  1. What You Need to Know About Worms in Cats Keeping your cat worm-free is one of the most important aspects of cat parenting. Worms in cats are mostly gastrointestinal parasites that usually live in the digestive system of your cat and cause serious health problems. However, there are other types of worms too, like heartworm and ringworm, which are not gastrointestinal worms. To recognize and treat worms in cats at an early stage, we recommend cat parents become familiar with the symptoms, treatments, and prevention of worms in cats.

  3. Common Types of Worms in Cats Tapeworms: Cats get tapeworms through flea bites. They are small, white segments in the digestive system whose presence may be indicated in the feces or around the anus of the cat. To prevent tapeworms in cats, flea prevention is recommended. Roundworms: They are also gastrointestinal worms, which are mostly passed from a mother to her kittens through her milk. However, cats can also contract them by ingesting roundworm eggs or by eating roundworm-infected rodents. Heartworms: Heartworms in cats are not as common as they are in dogs. However, once a cat gets heartworms, they are extremely dangerous to her health. Heartworm infection may result in heart failure or the sudden death of the cat.
