Cats can have many different digestive parasites. They can have tapeworms, hookworms, roundworms, pinworms, and like dogs, cats can have heartworms. All of these can be treated and removed through veterinary care, but heartworms are very difficult to remove. In any of these, if left untreated, a cat can die.

Do humans pick up infection from cats?
If the cat is an outdoor cat, some of the infections the cat contracts can be transferable to humans, such as toxoplasmosis. Most people get the misconception that the infection comes directly from cats, but in fact it is the cat that gets infected when it hunts and eats infected meat, and so the parasite is passed in the cat's stool. People can get this parasite only when the cat itself is infected (generally lasts for about two weeks), which is why it's a good idea to keep the cat indoors.
