Additionally, as the tapeworm continues to grow, it will take up more space in your cat’s digestive system,convincing the cat into thinking it is no longer as hungry, as the cat will not eat as much as it needs to, and the tiny amount of food it is taking is being taken away by the tapeworm.
If you indeed observe your cat running around more than expected and almost seeming paranoid, this is another tapeworm symptom for cats. It could also be very jumpy also. 
Unfortunately, tapeworms have a toxin which can often cause cats to convulse. And, when tapeworm segments are let go from the tapeworm and released through relieving itself, the segments occasionally stick to the anus, causing uncomfortable itching for your cat in that area. You will also see your cat dragging its rear end down the ground.
