Note the presence of some of the cat’s fur, along with some of its skin tissue in which the tick’s gnathosoma was still embedded, while it had been obtaining a blood meal from its feline host. Also worthy of note, is the subtle demarcation of the “scutum”, or chitinous “shield” on the tick’s back, signifying that this was, indeed, a female.
