Necessary to have indoor cat's stool checked annually?

My cat is an indoor cat.  Is it necessary to have her stool checked annually?  Yes, I know they may pick up something if they should catch a mouse.  However, she did not kill any mice since her vet check last year.  The only mouse that came into the basement this past winter I was able to catch first in the mouse trap.  Also, if she does get lucky and kills a mouse, she does not eat it.  Can she still pick up parasites if she doesn't eat the mouse?

She can pick up parasites from a mouse without eating it. She can pick up parasites from flea bites...and it may be a random flea you carry in on your clothes. Hookworm larvae live in the soil and can be brought inside on your shoes.
Better to be safe!

FWIW, my cat-only vets (two different ones over the years) have never suggested annual stool samples from my indoor-only cats.  But we did have one other cat for a while who went to a different vet, and they always wanted to check a stool sample yearly.  Given the way that particular practice works and the way that two other vets familiar with cats in the area didn't bother, I'm inclined to think the annual stool check was overkill.

I'm not sure if this thinking might vary by area of the country as well as individual vet though.  It's definitely not something that can really hurt anything, except maybe your wallet. ;-)

We actually brought a stool sample in last year for the cats' annual wellness check, and the vet tech simply tossed it. So, I guess my vet doesn't bother checking stool samples for indoor only cats unless they escape outside, have exposure to other cats, or catch a rodent. They asked how the stool looks and I guess as long as there aren't any issues, they don't run any tests.

Thanks for the replies.  Right now, I am leaning against the stool testing.  Realistically, I just don't see how she is getting exposed to anything.  There are no other pets in the house and we drop our shoes off at the door before entering.  Should I see a change that would alarm me, then definitely I would have it checked.
