How's that? The cat needs to be infected in some way and indoor cats are at minimum risk for "catching" worms. If the cat is dewormed properly as a kitten (or regulary checked for worm by stool samples) and is kept as an indoor cat, how will it be infected with worms?Originally Posted by Plebayo
If you treat your cat with flea meds regularly, worms aren't a concern, but if you don't use flea control your cats probably have worms.
Worms are usually a two in one package deal with fleas, if your cats have fleas then they most probably have worms too. Even if they are indoors cats. Fleas can get, they can be carried in by dogs or other animals or by you.Originally Posted by Sol

The cat gets a flea off of you, or someone coming to your house. The cat eats the flea, boom, they'll get tape worms.How's that?
