Do all cats and kittens get worms?


Answers:
well not all cats and kittens, but a high number of them do. Most common we see kittens with worms rather than adult cats. Roundworm, coccidia, and tapeworms are the most popular worms to find in any cat. If you suspect worms your cat will be bloated, and quite possibly will have diarrhea.most likely diarrhea with coccidia.If you want to bring a sample to your vet to look for these eggs, you can. just drop it off. If you have any other questions feel free to email me. Goodluck!
Only if they have fleas.
yes, when an animal is born they can have worms when there old enough you can use wormer its nothing to worry about
Unfortunatly it is very normal b/c kitten get it from their mom during pregnancy. Don't worry, it is treated very easily. Should be repeated 2-3 times a year if cat goes out.
Nope..
Yes they do as well as pups.
No not ALL cats get worms if you give them their shots and take good care of the cat it will not get worms. oh another thing make sure it is a house cat. Litter train it!
If the mother cat has ever been out doors then yes. Breeders souldn't have to but it's better to be safe then sorry.
Yes, they should be wormed periodically.
No, not all of them do, but a lot, especially if they are indoor/outdoor cats. One thing you can do to help prevent deceases and even worms, is do not feed them outside. Birds, such as pigions, carry deceases that can make dogs %26 cats sick and even kill them. When I was a child, my cat got worms, and we didn't have any de-wormer, so my Dad gave her tobacco in her cat food and it actually got rid of her worms! Just a thought in case that's the "case". Well, good luck.
No. Ive had cats and kittens for the past 24 years, and none have ever had this. But, reading on this site, you would think that ALL cats do - there are so many posting about it! I don't know where it comes from..
