Yikes about the cat bites. Well, I'm glad you're not allergic to the treatments.
When she was in first grade, my sister got a bite from one of our cats - his tail had gotten slammed in a desk. He bit her on the hand. Within a few hours her hand had swollen a lot. She's allergic to penicillin, so they admitted her to the hospital, where she was an inpatient in pediatrics for a week as they gave her a three-antibiotic IV cocktail. (Now she's allergic to some of those, too, like Keflex.)
Apparently cats wander around with this bacterium in their mouths and it's no problem for them, but if it gets under our skin it's bad, bad news.
