My cat has white worms in her poop and is hungrier. What's wrong?

Question

Hello! This morning, I have noticed that my cat (4 years old) has white medium length worms in her feces. I haven’t seen this in her before and she is not showing any other signs of worms (no lethargy, vomiting or diarrhoea). The only thing I have noticed is the fact that she is peeing a lot (but I feel like that may have something to do with her new litter). She seems slightly hungrier than usual.

Hi there, It sounds like Tessy has tapeworms, but she could have a different type of worm like pinworms or round worms. I would call your vet and see if you can bring in a sample of her feces for them to test. Once they know which worm she has, they can prescribe dewormer to kill the parasites. Best wishes and thanks for using Pet Coach.
