The common types of worms in cats are ringworms (which is not technically a worm but a fungal disease of the skin and hair), roundworms (which are internal and live in the cat's belly or intestines), tapeworms (also an internal parasite that you can find in your cat's feces and also affects dogs), hookworms (which are found in the cat's intestines and get their name from their teeth that they use to attach to the intestines and are particularly dangerous to kittens), and lungworms (these often go undiagnosed because the symptoms, coughing and difficulty in breathing, are usually only exhibited with a very heavy infection. Take cats to the vet right away if you suspect they have worms, they can be gotten rid of easily through either conventional or homeopathic remedies if they are caught early.

The most common type of worms found in cats are roundworm and tapeworm. These are the ones you will usually see in the poop. Roundworm are round and long, resembling a spaghetti noodle. Tapeworms are flat and usually in segments, although they can sometimes be whole (very very long).

Cats may also get ringworm (which is actually a fungus and not really a worm), heart worm, hookworm and lung worm.
