Hello and thank you for your question. It is concerning that you are having fevers. There is something called cat scratch fever which can have many complications. I suggest that you see a doctor as soon as possible to evaluate you for this. If you have it you will need to be on antibiotics to treat it and prevent complications. Good luck to you.
