Not really! It is remotely possible but highly unlikely a cat would ever carry a bedbug. Bedbugs are attracted towards the breath of humans when they are asleep not to cats and they make their hiding place close to where the human sleeps not where a cat sleeps. Bedbugs live on human blood not animal blood. In the extremely unlikely event of a bedbug finding a hiding place on a cat, such as under its collar, it will almost certainly leave that hiding place rapidly and find a better hiding place as soon as the cat wakes up and moves.

Bedbugs are so tiny, most of them measuring less than 1/10 of a millimeter.

They are much to small to be visible by a cats eye, not to mention a human eye.

I am sure cats eat bedbugs though, they just do not know it. By licking or chewing on a piece of bed-cloth, they probably eat many of them.

Humans do the same.

No. Bedbugs are attracted to the beds of humans. Because they feed on human blood not cat's blood they are never likely to be spread by a cat.

No they don't lay eggs on a host, just near the host (human) where they are nesting- on/near bed.
