CR, I think she is saying that since the kitty is old enough for the eyes to be their adult color, it is not younger than 8 weeks.
I agree, it is probably worms. Don't use an over-the-counter worm prep if you can avoid it, they are harsh and might not hit the right kind of worms. (Years ago I wormed my cat twice with roundworm meds when he had tapeworms. What a stupid move.) Anyway, see the vet and take in a stool sample, it is likely that worms are the problem but you don't want to guess wrong.
