Keep an eye out for these common signs of a worm infestation in your cat:

• bloated abdomen
• vomiting
• diarrhoea
• intense hunger could be a sign of roundworms
• check the litter tray, worms are sometimes apparent in excrement

Be aware that cats with worms do not always show signs of illness, except where the infestation is large, so you may not be aware your animal is affected. Another reason to provide regular treatments.
