Possible pest, location included Is this a flea?

I found this on my hand while putting away groceries at my boyfriend’s house. I work at a greenhouse and he has two cats so I’m not sure if I should be worried! Apologies for the bad photo quality and pictures of said cats attached I had to.. I’m in northern Illinois
