Yes you can get worms from your cat. They live in the feces, so if your cat is infected with worms, you will see them when you clean the litter box. Always wash your hands to prevent spreading them and get your cat treated.

If the cat has roundworms or hookworms, you can. It is not common, but you sure can. Usually it is children, because they put their hands in their mouths a lot.
UHHH... I think if you find a dead cat, the "worms inside" are MAGGOTS!!! They come from flies after the cat is dead.

Yes tape, round and hook are all worms that can be transmitted to humans although it is rare. One that is not as hard to transfer is ringworm. It is highly contagious and needs a vet to check the kitten/cat and proper medication.

Yes, there are certain types of intestinal parasites you can get from your cat or your dog. But unless your daily menu consists of cat or litter box special, you should be safe.
If there is something imparticular going on that makes you ask, you should check with your vet or your family doctor, even if it's just to put your mind at ease.

You can, it is really hard. You would have to actually eat them. but it has never happened to me when me when my cats had them. But I can tell you that you can't get rid of them with over the counter meds, you have to get some from the vet. I think it is like 15/20 dollars.

There is a slight chace if you handle their waste with your bare hands and do not wash. That chance is pretty small but still a possibility
