Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this rash. This would be very unlikely. And beside, you no longer have this python to claim continued exposure and symptoms. Your symptoms are suggestive of an allergic reaction. It could be the cat but, it is also wise looking around to see if there is something else that could be the potential cause of your symptoms beside cat's' fur.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more clarification or information if need be. I wish you well.
