can cats get lice from humans

Cats cannot get lice from humans. Lice are highly species-specific parasites, meaning the types of lice that affect humans are different from those that affect cats. Human lice cannot survive on cats because their biology is adapted specifically to human hair and blood, while cat lice (such as Felicola subrostrata) are adapted to cats and cannot survive on humans. Thus, cats do not catch lice from humans, nor can humans get lice from cats.
