If I get a scratch from a cat it swells ito a welt. Skin red if they lick.

Thats really terrible, Sir Kenyth!!

Have you tried de-sensitization injections?
I've just finished a course of 14 shots over the last few weeks for my allergies ( grass, pollen, and fungus ) They made me a bit ill after each shot, but the long term effects are WELL worth the trouble.
