Answer
Catherine,

You may have wormed her for the wrong kind of worms. Also worms are being immuned to over the counter wormers. You should get worm medicine from a vet. Anytime a cat's behavior noticeably changes you should take it to the vet for a checkup as a precaution .

It sounds like she is depressed or sick. It could be any number of reasons for her behaving like that.

Is she spayed? That cures a lot of behavior problems.

I would find out if it is a medical issue before treating it as a behavioral problem.
