AB <p><em>Neotrombicula autumnalis</em>&nbsp;is an arthropod that parasitises cats during the larval stage and induces pruritic dermatitis described as trombiculosis. This report describes the infestation of two cats with&nbsp;<em>N. autumnalis</em>&nbsp;mite larvae. Physical examination of both cats revealed cutaneous lesions on the ears, limbs (elbow, interdigital spaces) and around the nipples represented by erythema, papules, crusts and pruritus. Microscopic examination of skin scrapings revealed&nbsp;<em>N. autumnalis</em>&nbsp;larvae in both cats. To our knowledge, this is the first report of&nbsp;<em>N. autumnalis&nbsp;</em>larvae infestation in cats from Romania.</p>
