Over the past month I've been bitten numerous times by somthing ... I thought cat fleas , so we de flead them then I thought mosquito or somthing else as it had been hot and we were sleeping with the window open

I've been bitten when out of the house as well through my clothes! Same bites .

I woke up this morning with 3 bites , one on butt and on my torso all different places ! I had changed the bedding the previous night , but when I was out I've felt under my bra was itchy so I looked and 3 more bites !

The bites are very small but extremely itchy and fluid filled ..

My husband isn't being bitten and he sleeps in just his pants . I'm fully clothed.

Is your torso exposed during the night? If not I feel like a mosquito would go for your exposed skin first, such as face or arms. I'd have guessed fleas but... Have you considered bed bugs? I'd check the mattress thoroughly.

Bed bug bites do contain a fluid like a blister but are normally in clusters

I've checked for bed bugs and no sign 🤨

Just looks like standard midge bites to me. Window open. Always sort of behind knees or in warm areas.

Do they itch and sting when you shower?

Flea treat your bed. Fleas will still carry indoors on Flea treated cats and live in your furnishings and bite you instead. I've always been bitten and partners never have.
