Expert Answer

A house cat can be dewormed every 1-3 months. Kittens can be dewormed after 45 days, around when vaccines start, but vaccines and deworming should not be simultaneous, so schedule them well. Under 6 months, deworm internally and externally every month; after 6 months, internally every 3 months and externally every 1-3 months, with external frequency based on the cat’s environment—outdoor cats need it more often.
