Could your cat have worms if it keeps licking its backside and rubbing it on the ground?

It's a possibility, but some cats may just have an itchy behind. My cat Molly does it on occasion and she doesn't have worms. Also, if they go to the bathroom sometimes they may have a 'hanger' back there and they want to get it off.
If your cat is constantly doing this then take a sample of their feces into the vets to see if it is worms.

Why do rottweilers lick?
Why do Rotties lick? Well I'll tell you that Rotties arent the only breed that licks! I had a Maltese for eleven years and she was always licking: people, toys, the floor, her paws, etc. As for why...well, many reasons. If the dog is licking itself it could be a quick "cleaning", they could be itchy, it could be a nervous habit, they could have hot-spots, etc. I would see your vet if they are continually licking themselves, especially if the fur is falling out. If they are licking an object or floor it could be because of a lingering taste like food, boredom, play. If you are the one being licked it could be because you taste good ^_^ or the dog is licking the salt off your skin. Dogs also show submission by licking, so that could be it too. What a stupid question!
