Alaskan I had a similar experience many years ago. Stayed overnight at a friend's house(NOT that kind of friend Sour). She had cats and cats and kittens, in a one room house. I think most BYC folks know I am not fond of cats.
I was sleeping on her couch and one of her cats , J.R. cuddled up to me. Like a dummy I thought he was being sweet(for a cat) HA!!
When I woke up I had dozens of tiny red circles on me that itched. My friend said "oh those are flea bites."

That cat was totally gone, after having used me as flea bait. I bet he felt better, I did not!
