Humans generally do not get hookworm from their cat or dog. If the cat vomits or excretes worms and this is cleaned up immediately, it poses no risk to humans. The cat should see a vet for treatment. *If you have young children, it can be possible for the child to ingest a hookworm egg from the cat's feces or vomit. But that would mean the child has touched the vomit or feces and then put the child put their fingers into the child's mouth.
