Can you see intestinal worms in cat poop?

Adult worms can sometimes be seen in the stool, rarely in vomit. People can get infected with cat roundworms by ingesting eggs found in the soil (via poorly washed fruits and vegetables). Eggs that hatch into larvae can travel through body tissues, leading to severe organ problems and even blindness.

What does it look like when cats have worms in their poop?

Roundworms measure anywhere between three to five inches long and look like spaghetti noodles. They steal nutrients from the food your cat ingests. The worms then produce eggs, which are eliminated through the feces. On occasion, you may be able to see the roundworms moving around in your cat's poop or vomit.
