Onyx appears to have forgiven me and is purring and sitting next to me while furiously grooming

I hope this results in some relief for the poor thing. I thought all the itching I was seeing might be ear mites and that we were just going to go to the vet and get some medicine but then I found a flea and realized that the trail of bites up my chest and around my neck were probably from a flea

We are still going to the vet soon anyway but I hope that this reduces suffering for both of us.
