I posted recently about an allergy, where the Vet says "it could be anything", so my cat has been on steroids for a few months now.
Also I stopped all kinds of preventive treatments (deworming, etc), by vet request.
Today I spotted this sneaky insect while I was grooming my boy. My cat has a long thick fur and it's VERY difficult to spot bugs like this. So I'm wondering if this insect has always been the reason for his allergy (and now that I am stopping all preventive treatments it might just get worse).
I picked the insect and it didn't jump, so I'm not sure if it's a flea. I recorded some footage of it interestingly refusing to let go of a piece of hair.
Can you please help identify this insect?
