You can either plant unhulled cat or rye grass in your own pet planter or you can buy kitty grass from the local pet shops. House plants however, may be poisonous and should be kept off limits. Worms Many kittens are born with one or more types of intestinal worms. Not all types of worms are visible to the naked eye. We test a stool sample to detect worms.
Intestinal worms are contagious from one cat to another.
Rodents and fleas can also transmit worms. We should check a stool sample every 6 months. Tapeworms look like pieces of rice. They are mobile and can be seen crawling around the rectum or in the stool. They may also have dried out and have become stuck to the fur in the anal area.
