Cats can get various types of intestinal parasites, including:
* Roundworms: These are the most common type of intestinal parasite in cats. They can cause vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and a pot-bellied appearance.
* Tapeworms: These parasites can cause weight loss, constipation, and a dull coat.
* Hookworms: These parasites can cause blood loss, anemia, and diarrhea.
If you suspect your cat has any type of intestinal parasite, it's crucial to consult a veterinarian. They can perform a fecal exam to identify the specific parasite and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Here are some signs that might indicate your cat has an intestinal parasite:
* Diarrhea or constipation

Remember, a veterinarian is the best source of information and treatment for any health concerns your cat might have.
