Roundworm cat worms are most common in kittens. Kittens contract roundworms through their mother's milk; the mother usually becomes contaminated with these cat worms via contaminated soil.
Kittens with roundworms usually have enlarged pot bellies. Roundworms look like cooked spaghetti and can appear in vomit or poo. Sorry for that detailed description, but it's all part of being a responsible kitty caregiver, right?
Most kittens are born with roundworm cat parasites. All kittens should get a vet checkup to see if deworming medication is necessary. Oftentimes kittens need to take deworming medication for several months to get rid of cat parasites.
Tapeworm cat parasites are most common in adult cats. The cat ingests a flea while grooming; the flea has a tapeworm inside it. Outdoor cats may contract these cat parasites by eating raw flesh from prey such as small animals or fish.
OK, if you thought the roundworm description was gross, brace yourself for the tapeworm description! Tapeworm cat parasites are approximately one-fourth inch long. You may see them moving about in the fur surrounding your cat's anus. You may also see what looks like dried up grains of rice in areas where your cat sleeps; these are dead tapeworms.
