Hookworms – These small intestinal roundworms cause damage to the lining of the intestine by attaching themselves to the surface. Common hookworms include Ancylostoma tubaeforme and Uncinaria stenocephala. It’s likely that your cat will get worms at some point during their life, so keeping up with regular treatment is vital. Early signs of worms include a dull coat, increased appetite, weight loss, bloating, blood in faeces, vomiting and diarrhoea. You may notice whole or fragments of worms in a cat’s faeces or small white fragments of worm in the fur around the bottom. The most common intestinal worms in cats are roundworms and tapeworms, although these are not the only worms cats can be afflicted by. Not all infected cats show signs of having worms, meaning it’s vital to maintain a regular worming routine to kill any that are in residence and to prevent a recurrence. Some worms can also be passed on to humans and can cause serious disease, so it’s not only your pet you’re looking after with a worming treatment.

Loss of appetite, a dull coat, vomiting and diarrhoea, tiredness and pale gums are also typical symptoms of intestinal worms. In this case, using a cat wormer may be the solution. What are the natural cat wormers? Tablets use Pyrantel embonate, Praziquantel and Febantel to treat infestations with roundworms, tapeworms and hookworms. The liquid cat wormer is poured directly into the cat's water or mixed with the dry food. It is a convenient solution for cats who are not put off by an unfamiliar taste. Test the product by having your pet sniff it: you will be able to tell whether they like the smell or not!

The frequency of deworming depends on the age of your cat. Kittens should receive their first cat dewormer every fortnight for their first month. After this, they should be given it at monthly intervals for six months. If you don't deworm your cat, intestinal worms will proliferate in your cat's body. As a result, your pet's health will deteriorate rapidly. They will suffer from deficiencies, their coat will become dull and they will lose weight. If it is a young kitten, they may have growth issues. Make sure you regularly clean any poop out of your cat’s litter tray to avoid reinfection with any worm eggs in your cat’s faeces. If they have recently had worms, wash their bedding on a high temperature to kill any eggs that may be in it. Be sure to treat any other animals in your home for worms too. Fleas – Regular flea treatment should go together with worming, particularly as fleas feed on the eggs and carry the larvae of tapeworms. If a cat swallows a flea while grooming or scoffing prey, they could become infected.
