Yes. Passage of worms from cats to people is less common than from dogs, but it does happen. Children are most at risk as they are most likely to put their fingers in their mouth after playing in soil, contaminated with cat feces. Roundworms are caught by contact with infected feces, tapeworms by ingesting egg packets from fur or eating an infected flea, whilst hookworms pass from feces into the soil, and in moist conditions penetrate human skin to cause infection.
