Can feline lice be transmitted to other cats via their owners clothes?
In theory, the answer is YES. Lice must live on a host (i.e. your cat), they do not live very long off of the host. It could be possible for a louse to be on your clothes from holding one cat and be immediately transferred to another cat. If one cat in a household has lice, all cats in that household should be treated for the lice to make sure that they are completely eliminated from the home. K. H., DVM
