WHERE DO WORMS COME FROM?
Most gastrointestinal (GI) worms in cats will squirm their way in when your cat accidentally eats worm eggs or larvae. "How would a cat even eat worm eggs?", we hear you ask! Well, it's pretty gross, but it's usually because they’ve ingested the faeces of another animal which had worms living in its gut. Many GI worm eggs aren't infective straight away after being passed in poo. It can take a little bit of time - and that's why it's SO IMPORTANT to clear up your cat's poo. It's vital to help reduce the level of infection - and cut those pesky parasites off before they have the chance to infect new pets (or people - yep, we’re not safe from them either).We’re sure this goes without saying, but always wash your hands after clearing up your cat's poo…

WHAT ARE THE MAIN TYPES OF WORMS THAT CAN AFFECT CATS AND HOW?
There are 2 main types of gastrointestinal worms which pose a risk to cats in the UK - roundworm and tapeworm.Roundworms are the most common type of parasitic worm found in cats in the UK. These worms are long and white in appearance and steal nutrients from their host (your kitty - gulp). While the initial infection starts in their GI tract, roundworms can work their way into your cat’s other tissues and organs.Tapeworms are long and flat in appearance. These parasites live in the small intestine and latch onto the intestinal wall, absorbing nutrients as your cat is digesting their food. When these worms are excreted, the body of the worm can break into segments that resemble grains of rice.

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR CAT HAS WORMS
Symptoms of worm infestation in your cat can include abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea, weight loss, dull or lifeless fur, and sometimes even anaemia. In kittens, large numbers of worms can even cause blockages on their insides, which sadly can be fatal. There are often no early signs of worms in cats whatsoever. They could be setting up camp in your cat's guts and you wouldn't have a clue until it was possibly too late - scary stuff, right? Worms can be a threat to people as well as cats - especially young children or those with a weakened immune system. One worm in particular you don't want a child crossing paths with is Toxocara - if infected, this can cause serious health conditions such as blindness and epilepsy.Stop the wrigglers taking hold with a regular dose of dewormer! Itch Wormer worming tablets for cats keep your kitty and your family safe.

FAQs

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DEWORM MY CAT?
The best way to keep yourself, your family and your cat safe is to give your puss a regular dose of Itch Wormer! Monthly wormer treatment is recommended for cats who love the outdoors or eat raw food because they're much more likely to get worms. Children under 4 and the immunosuppressed are in danger from a cat with worms, so monthly treatment is also recommended here. All other cats will be recommended a quarterly wormer treatment programme.
