Can you get a rash/breakout and itch from a cat scratch?

Certainly : Think about where your cat's been! you could be allergic to anything he/she's been walking through (including, but not confined to, their litter box).

NOT NORMALLY: Cat scratch fever or disease does not cause a rash but scratch site can become red.But outdoor cats can pick up germs from contact with ground, fleas or infected animals and that may be transferred to humans and may cause rash and itching, .

Possible: If cat has picked bugs from somewhere then they can be transmitted and one might get rash.
