Preventing parasites in outdoor cats requires a multi-faceted approach. Regularly apply veterinarian-prescribed broad-spectrum parasite prevention medications that cover fleas, ticks, heartworms, and common intestinal worms. Discuss with your vet which products are most suitable for your area's specific parasite prevalence. Additionally, avoid feeding raw meat, ensure fresh, clean drinking water, and consider if restricting outdoor access, particularly at dawn and dusk, might be safer for your cat. Regular fecal exams are also recommended, even if your cat is on preventative medication.
