Hi, It seems to be an allergic reaction, most possibly because of your cat.
I recommend continue using Phenergan for itching. try and stay away from your cat for a few days. If the itching decreases during that time then it is definitely allergy to cat ...may be its hairs.
If so I recommend getting rid of the cat if you can do it. Or meet an allergist and try for desensitization.
Hope this answers your question, thank you.
