we have 4.
The obvious signs are If he's gnawing his bum or doing the scoot and weight loss. You need to seriously wash your hands when petting him if you think he has worms as you really don't want them.
Lungworm is obvious when the sound asthmatic - that is really nasty. They get it from eating snails and slugs and it's not common in healthy well-fed cats.
Having worms in humans causes weight loss, lethargy, and mood disorders amongst other things.
Most vets sell the tablets - don't bother with the supermarket variety they don't work.
If you can't pill the cat - take him in you really don't want worms.
Daisy and Ted had terrible parasites after we rescued then and the result of dosing them was a truly horrific thing to see.
They look exactly like thin noodles - the same colour and everything - don't touch them. Paper towels in the bin and wash your hands.
There are a few topical treatments that you put on the back of the neck that are included in the flea treatments but if you want to be sure the only way is the tablet.

You can buy online. Advocate does the job - it's really good - although horrible to witness if you've got an infested cat.

Not sure where you live but, we have stores specifically for pets and they also include a pet pharmacy. The pharmacist sold me some, 5 pills for a dollar.

that's a blinder - similar to those old pics I used to take of Jonah. Some cats just love the camera.

Does anyone know where the original of this is? This was what the wife had to put up with when we slept separately due to Covid. We have 7 cats.

Pilling cats is an art. It's like learning how to box.

She's a past-mistress at the foreplay required, before she can slip on that plastic glove and look for the tonsils, or whatever they do up there!
Phone number? My cat wants to know.

And you only have 2 goes to learn before you are down to no hands!

Possibly more like MMA with the cat being extremely adept and I have to have the paramedics standing by to rescue me! I had one cat who was only 6 lbs. She was the most deadly. She would even hold the pill in her mouth, walk away from me, and then I’d hear the pill drop on the floor.

Lost, alone, and separated from family, a stray cat must untangle an ancient mystery to escape a long-forgotten city.
Stray is a third-person cat adventure game set amidst the detailed neon-lit alleys of a decaying cybercity and the murky environments of its seedy underbelly. Roam surroundings high and low, defend against unforeseen threats and solve the mysteries of this unwelcoming place inhabited by nothing but unassuming droids and dangerous creatures.
See the world through the eyes of a stray and interact with the environment in playful ways. Be stealthy, nimble, silly, and sometimes as annoying as possible with the strange inhabitants of this foreign world.
Along the way, the cat befriends a small flying drone, known only as B12. With the help of this newfound companion, the duo try to find a way out.
Stray is developed by BlueTwelve Studio, a small team from south of France mostly made of cats and a handful of humans.

Sad news.
A pet that inspired the book A Street Cat Named Bob has died aged 14.
James Bowen met Bob in 2007 during his battle with drug addiction when he found the cat abandoned and injured and decided to look after him. He began taking the ginger cat with him when busking or selling The Big Issue in London. Bowen eventually wrote a book about their relationship which became a smash hit and was made into a film, featuring Bob, in 2016.
A Street Cat Named Bob: And How He Saved My Life was published in 2012, and there have since been five further books released in more than forty different languages.
A second film, A Gift from Bob, which also features the eponymous feline, is due to be released later this year.
