When cats eat flea eggs do they hatch into worms?
Yes....By swallowing a flea infected with a tapeworm larvae. This process begins when tapeworm eggs are swallowed by flea larvae (an immature stage of the flea). Contact between flea larvae and tapeworm eggs is thought to occur most frequently in contaminated bedding or carpet. Next, the pet chews or licks its skin as a flea bites; the flea is then swallowed. As the flea is digested within the pet's intestine, the tapeworm hatches and anchors itself to the intestinal lining.
How can cats that eat dried food get worms?
Cats with fleas scratch and bite the fleas. The cat then swallows flea excrement which contains flea eggs. When flea eggs get inside the intestines of the cat or kitten, the egg makes a worm. Cats or kittens can also ingest the eggs from being outside poking around in dirt or grass, or from licking an infected cats' fur or licking it's rear end. NOTE: More flea eggs live in soil and grass than most people realize. If you have an outdoor, or an indoor-outdoor dog or cat, your yard needs treated at the same time you treat your pet for fleas and worms. NOTE: Flea eggs in flea excrement can survive a long time, even on a cement basement floor. So ALL areas of the house must be treated.
