In short
Kittens are screened more often. Indoor adults depend on hunting, raw food and outdoor access. ESCCAP reminds us of regional risk; product choice is veterinary.
Bloody diarrhoea, weight loss or a swollen belly should not wait. Read with diarrhoea in cats.
Do not
Do not use dog paste, human medicine or leftover boxes. Dose is by weight and species.

External parasites in cats
Indoor living is not automatic protection. Fleas can breed indoors; ticks and mites are different problems. Prevention is individual — never use a dog product on a cat.
Diarrhoea in cats
A single softer stool is not always illness. Watery, bloody or days-long diarrhoea — especially in a kitten — is not a wait-and-see job. Do not give human or dog medicine.
