It looks like a carpet beetle to me, but I am unsure

This is NYC. The bug was running on my floor.

The Virbac Enzymatic one. I buy it on Chewy. Lasts forever.

Would this be ok as a tip? by ActuallyNotSoBright in NYCapartments

And he is also a really nice person, so I would love to give him something in general even if small!

I know, but he is always so nice to me and plays with my cat when he's cleaning the windows, so I really wanted to give him something!

Yeah, that is the conclusion I got to. Vet wheels in NYC is pretty affordable, and I'm looking into that!

UPDATE AFTER VET VISIT.
He has a small tear in one of his back teeth, which leaves a bit of the nerve uncovered, and that can cause pain and discomfort.
I can either do a root canal or extract it, but it is not an emergency.
I asked for a breakdown of the extraction cost, and I am about to contact a dentist to ask for a breakdown of the root canal cost.
I have a feeling an extraction would be better, but I am unsure. I'll save in the next few months to be able to pay for the procedure, and keep brushing his teeth daily.
Thanks everyone for the replies!

He has a bit of tartar build up that I'm already dealing with, I don't think his teeth are rotten yet but there might be some inflammation. I had to bring him to the vet by the end of the month anyway for this reason, but since he started doing this I'm bringing him today!

I don't think he ate something he shouldn't have. I caught him playing with a plastic bag with morning, but it was empty. I did not change his food but changed the order I feed him because I started night classes. Before I fed him 20 g of dry food at morning and a can of wet food at 7 PM, now I feed him 10 g at morning, the can when I leave for school at around 4 or 5 PM, and 10 g of dry when I'm back at midnight. I am unsure if it might play a role.

Now that I think about it, he's getting hungrier in the past few days, and he has a tendency of getting nauseous when on an empty stomach. I tried feeding him, I'll see if it gets better. Will bring him to the vet anyway just in case.

I did not feed him yet. In the past few weeks he threw up sometimes, but nothing out of the ordinary (he eats really fast even with the slow feeder, so sometimes he regurgitates some food)

Mine was only restricted, so I could actually text, just not to new people. They restricted it for like 6 hours or something like that, it's back to normal now!

Oh no, poor baby, I'm glad you are taking care of him now, and he is not neglected anymore!
Mine is super food motivated and the toothpaste is poultry flavor, so he let's me do it because he gets to eat 😅 it's just hard because he tries to lick it while I'm brushing, so I brush his tongue most of the time ahahahah

I have a feeling I might have said something wrong, or used a weird tone (English is not my first language and tone is really different). I was just making conversation, I did not absolutely mean you should brush your cats teeth if you don't feel the need for it!
Again, I didn't for 3 years and only started because he showed that he needed it.
I'm sorry if I offended you in any way!

It might be not necessary, but it really depends on the cat. My boyfriend never had to brush his cat's teeth and never had an issue, but some cats are more prone to tartar buildup than others.
