Itching in a kitten does not necessarily mean there are insects. It may also be due to other reasons, such as mosquito bites or skin infection with bacteria and fungi. If the cat has been injured, it will also feel itching when the wound heals. To tell if your cat has worms, you can check its feces for worm eggs or break open its skin to see if there are any black spots.

Itchy kittens may not necessarily have bugs

Itching in a kitten does not necessarily mean there are worms. In addition to worms, there are many other things that can cause a kitten to itch, such as being bitten by mosquitoes, or a humid environment causing eczema on the cat's skin. If your cat has been injured, it will also itch while the wound is healing.

It is impossible to confirm whether a cat has worms just by scratching it. The breeder can touch its bones. If sharp and thin bones can be clearly touched, it is likely that parasites are causing the cat to become thin. In addition, you can also judge by looking at the feces to see if there are eggs and opening the skin to see if there are black spots.

If the cat is confirmed to have parasites, it needs to be dewormed. The breeder must first clean the indoor environment and apply anthelmintics on the cat's skin. To prevent your cat from licking the medicine, you can wear a collar.
