Seek Help from Your Vet and Your Physician for Roundworms in Cats. If you notice spaghetti-like strands in your cat's vomit, be sure to call your vet immediately. If you also have children, it is a good idea to have their pediatrician check them for signs of roundworms as well.
What does it mean when a cat throws up worms?
Often a cat or kitten may vomit up a worm, and there is a good chance this is a roundworm (especially in a kitten). Roundworms are often described as looking like cooked spaghetti, as they are long and white in appearance.
Is my cat throwing up worms an emergency?
"Large numbers of roundworms may cause life-threatening problems in kittens and debilitated older cats." In both kittens and adult cats with small numbers of worms, there may be no clinical signs of infection. You may notice adult roundworms in your cat's stool or in their vomit.
Should I quarantine my cat with roundworms?
If your cat does happen to have worms, keep him in isolation until cured. If you own multiple cats or pets, doing so keeps the chances low of infecting your other animals.
