Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / October 2004REPOST:: Cats eating flies question
Whenever my cats see a fly they go nuts until they catch it and then they eat it. Nothing excessive but in the summer months maybe 3 or 4 a months. I heard that it could cause worms and was wondering if there is any truth to this.

For the most part flies don't vector cat "worms", but I suppose one could make a case for fly landing on pile o' poop, picking up a larvae or two on its feet, and then getting eaten by your cat. I wouldn't sweat it too much. |
