Perhaps you have heard of a pet cat that has had worms. The cat did not get the worms by eating the directly. The hosts for the tapeworm larvae are usually fleas. The host fleas are infested with the tapeworm larvae.
When the cat cleans itself, it swallows the fleas. The tapeworm larvae on the fleas change into tiny tapeworms. They then live and grow as parasites in the intestines of the cat. The tapeworms produce eggs and fertilize the with sperm. The fertilized eggs are carried out of the cat's body as waste.
For the most common species of tapeworms in cats, house cats get tapeworms from ingested fleas infested with the larvae of tapeworms. Some owners let their house cats go outside for the night, which is where they can be exposed to fleas.
