I took Tiger to the vet a couple of years ago when I noticed he was a little smaller than usual. Turned out he had tapeworms.

Since he is an indoor cat, I asked the vet how this could happen. She said they are airborne. Yes, the windows had been open.

He didn't get a shot; he got pills. That little stinker ran in zigzag patterns spitting trying to get rid of the pill. I was more persistent than he, so he got the complete dosage and didn't have tapeworm problems again.

We didn't restrict him at all and had no problems.
