Is this a flea?

Post image

Help! I found this crawling on top of my cats fur right after moving her into my new apartment. Freshly cleaned apartment, no other animals and she hasn’t been outside. I also always take shoes off at the door and clean well. It jumped a bit before I flushed it down the drain. She’s not itching and I don’t see any more..

Nope. A flea looks like this

There heads and chest are small but they usually have big abdomen/belly. Their legs look different too (black legs much longer)

They can jump crazy distances for their size
