lice are SOOO contagious. I work at a childcare centre where we have used an electric lice comb on every child for a week to try and stop the infestation (it worked too ) I got lice too (horrible) but after I found a live one on the Friday I used a lice comb ALL weekend and was clear by Monday. Oh- washing your hair with vinegar can help too as a non-chemical treatment.

p.s. my 7yo just saw the cat and LOVES it
