The body louse (Pediculus humanus humanus, sometimes called Pediculus humanus corporis) is a louse that infests humans. The condition of being infested with head lice, body lice, or pubic lice is known as pediculosis. Nits are louse eggs. 2  They are generally easy to see in the seams of an infested person's clothing, particularly around the waistline, under armpits or even in body hair. 3  They are oval and usually yellow to white in color.
Feline Pediculosis. Lice are parasites that live on the skin. Left unchecked, they can grow to be an infestation on the catâs body. Lice are actually very small insects that feed by chewing on the skin of the animal they are infesting, in this case, the cat. They are not as common as fleas; they are most often seen in situations where sanitary practices are poor.
