I don't trust pre-made cat food. They're too high in carbohydrates, contain ingredients cats were not designed to eat. The very best one I can find contains pumpkin. My poor siamese was verging on diabetes, got way too fat on canned food or kibble, even the quality stuff had rice or corn or even worse wheat. I put him on raw and supplement with sardines and extra Taurine and he's thriving! He is around 14 years old.
I'd rather deal with the parasites (which seems unlikely) than the problems that pre-made foods cause.
I would be suspicious that perhaps something in his food is affecting him neurologically. It sure does affect people that way, why not cats?
Whole Foods Market has some good frozen, cooked pet foods without most of the crap found in other pet foods. I use that sometimes, but most of the time I buy chicken thighs and cut them up, supplement with beef liver, sardine and beef/chicken pet food (raw) I get from Whole Foods. And when I'm out of everything else, I have Evo for him, but even though the can says "Next best thing to Raw Food Diet" I call it "Kitty Junk Food". His arthritis always bugs him after he eats that stuff.
