Best Answer

Worm eggs can be deposited on grass by any of a number of insects or by other cats, and can be carried from one location to another either on flies feet or inside insects. Most likely, if your cat is an outdoor cat, she is eating grass and bugs which harbor worm eggs. Cats and dogs can also get worms from tropical fish if they drink the water from a fish tank or pond.

House cats typically get worms from catching and eating rodents or from swallowing infected fleas. Kittens get worms from their mothers when they nurse.
