Homemade Remedy for Cat Worms

Knowledgeable cat owners know that when their cat rubs its hindquarters against a rough surface, it may have worms. Cats owners often struggle with worm infestations in their pets. Many medications exist to kill the worms, but they have a reputation as being abrasive and harsh on a cat's system. Some cat owners make their own worm remedies. While this may require more time and effort to prepare and administer than a pharmaceutical pill, for many cat owners, it provides the best solution to ridding the cat of the worms while protecting the cat's health.
