Cat raw feeding and worms?
Will I need to deworm my indoor cat more often if I feed him raw food? usually it's recommended to worm indoors once a year, but there may be some worm eggs in the meat, right? Or will freezing the food prior to serving take care of that problem?
Please no answers about how I shouldn't feed raw, I did the research prior to making a decision.

If you are feeding meats fit for human consumption there should be no need for more frequent worming.
The only meat I have questions about myself is pork. People used to sometimes get trichinosis from undercooked pork. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinosis
Veterinary worm medications are for intestinal parasites though so would have no effect on the trichinosis critters if your cat got them.
If you intend to feed pork do some more research first.
The meats you can buy for yourself such as beef, lamb, goat, chicken, turkey etc should be fine.
