How to Make a Wormer for Cats

If your cat suffers from weight loss, bloody or loose stools, bloating or vomiting, it may have intestinal parasites, commonly known as worms. The most common, roundworms, tapeworms and hookworms, absorb nutrients from your cat, leading to malnutrition or anemia. To avoid the use of traditional dewormers, which contain toxic chemicals, give your cat natural ingredients to rid it of worms.
