Hello, my name is Beka and I am not sure if my kitten has lice. He is 8 months old and he runs about like a normal kitten should, and his itching isn’t that outrageous. Although, I’ve been noticing rather small, black clusters of “crumbs” and or “eggs” deep in his fur, almost where his roots are. They are rather close to his skin. At first I thought he was just young and his skin was dry, because they have been present since I have gotten him quite some time ago. Never have I found a small insect until today. His fur is pretty long and it’s quite hard to find them, I have one that is currently trapped under a glass on my counter, and my kitten is currently locked in my bathroom, [with food, water, kitty litter, etc..] He does have a tick and flea collar on, but I don’t think it is doing much. Is there shampoo made for kittens with lice? Should I bring him to the vet, with the insect that I currently have? can I catch the lice from him? Should I keep him off my couches and beds?????????
