Found tiny bugs in my kitchen, but my cat seems fine. What are they?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

What are these little bugs? I found them on a chair in my kitchen. I haven’t seen anything on my cats.

They look like they could be tick nymphs but it’s difficult to tell since they’re far away in the picture. They don’t look like fleas or lice to me. Mites are microscopic. There are probably many, many other types of insects that do not infest cats that I’m not familiar with.
