Treatment of parasitic worms in cats: Fortunately, there are many products on the market to treat the more common types of worms such as tapeworm, roundworm, and hookworm. Oral tablets and topical products which are applied to the back of the neck are the most common.
People can not get worms from cats. And no, things in your home do not need to be disinfected. If you have not already treated the worms, take a stool sample to the vet along with the cats weight to get the proper meds in the proper dose. That will be the end of the worm problem.
