Are white worms in my cat's poop normal? What about her shedding?

Question

So I found like some small white worms in my cat's poop not a lot but a few and shes been shedding hair I was told it was normal since she is a long haired cat... Is it normal? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 10 months and 26 days old | 2.75 lbs

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The worms in Moca's feces are not normal, and this means that she is infected with intestinal parasites. Parasites can cause diarrhea, malnutrition and dehydration, so I recommend having her feces evaluated by your veterinarian as soon as possible. He/she can determine what types of parasites/parasite eggs are present and recommend the appropriate deworming treatment. As far as the shedding goes - this is typical of cats, especially those with longer fur. Cats groom themselves frequently to keep themselves clean, and this leads to lots of shedding, especially in the warmer weather. I hope this is helpful!
