However, massive infection in juvenile cats can be fatal. </p><p>Feline roundworms are brownish-yellow to cream-colored to pink and may be up to 10 cm in length. Adults have short, wide cervical <a href="/wiki/Alae_(anatomy)" class="mw-redirect" title="Alae (anatomy)">alae</a> giving their anterior ends the distinct appearance of an arrow (hence their name, <i>toxo</i>, meaning arrow, and <i>cara,</i> meaning head).
