A cat can die from certain types of worms. Like the heartworm, a cat can die from. But worms around its rear end aren't fatal. It's best if you contact a vet and get it treated so its not going to spread to other cats.

Worms can actually kill your cat. Of course there are various types of worms also so it depends on the type. Worms can drain your cat off all it's nutrients. They can infest your cats heart also. It is best to get your cat to a vet and have them identify the worms and have them treated immediately. Some worms can be passed from cats to dogs to even humans.

Cats can have worms by licking another cat's rectal area, by biting and swallowing fleas (which turn into worms in the intestinal tract, or eating mice or other wildlife which might have worms inside them. Most cats get worms by the simple problem of fleas. Always treat for BOTH fleas AND worms.
