Even if a cat doesn't have worms, it still needs deworming because deworming is preventative and needs to be done regularly. Deworming only occurs when parasites are present, and that's considered therapeutic deworming. Too many parasites can lead to various secondary diseases. Cats generally need external deworming about once a month and internal deworming about once every three months. Also, avoid using the same deworming medication for extended periods.
