most effective thing to get rid of sucking lice/ other insects in....CAT
They are no fun, either.
A hostel I once stayed in in Buenos Aires got some particularly vicious Australian chinche infestation and they had to close the place down, fumigate it and boil all the linens.

she is not homeless. it is a dominican style cat, which means that she was born here, her mother was killed by human like maybe one week after she was born, and she is the only one who survived from 6 kitties.so when her mother was killed the other Dominican started to feed her from bottle...and now she lives here.
and she does hang out outside a lot, as the weather is nice and she is free to go
but usually comes to eat to our building or the building in front of ours. and yeah, she also likes to hang out a lot in my room :smoke::smoke:
I'm not so sure. wikipedia says that each lice specie is "dedicated" to the other specie, thats how are the lice species of monkeys, cats, horses and humans

What is the best that works here ?
I bought some powder from Bayer, used it two times so far (every 2 days), but it doesnt seem to work 100 %.
cat still has lice and its suborder - "mallophaga".
is some shampoo better ?
I would take the cat to a vet to clear up the problem and see what he recommends for long term. You may need a flea and tick collar. Not sure if that works on lice.
I second the vet idea by LTSteve. A vet should be able to dunk your feline in a flea/tick bath that will work very quickly and completely to get you back to a bug free cat. Then it's probably a good idea to use a parasite collar/Advantix as a preventative measure.
Pets are an expense and sometimes an inconvenience. Do yourself a favor and quickly treat your object of concern for adults, juveiles and eggs. Often powders/shampoos alone do not affect eggs and a treatment regiment needs to be maintained for long periods of time to catch new bugs as they hatch.

Indoor cats, they claim, live three times longer than outdoor ones. My sister had one that lived to be 19.
It goes without saying that indoor cats live longer because they don't face the dangers that exist outside. Unfortunately outdoor cats that stumble through my yard when I'm not paying attention have a life expectancy measured in minutes if the dogs see them, less if they try to cross a road with heavy vehicle traffic. There are mucho hazards that wandering pets face that indoor pets rarely encounter.
update: it seems that this powder from Bayer works..used it 3 times as for now and I see no lice walking on my cat...so far
but it looks like that I will have to use it every few days, so probably it is better to buy somthing like frontline

DON'T KNOW ANY "INDOOR CATS", IN THE DR.
THE HOUSES ARE TOO OPEN TO THE OUTSIDE.
MAYBE IN AN APT, OR HIGH RISE.
