Cat sitter's rash

I've been cat sitting for my boss's cat for the past few days while he's out of town and now I have this nasty re-occurring itch on the back of my hands. Everytime I scratch it (which I can't help) these nasty welts temporarily appear. I think it may be the cat herself. I've used the same litter before w/ my kids and i've used latex gloves before (I used them when I'm cleaning the litter box) with no problems. Yesterday was my last day, but i'm still itchy. She's a little shy and I rubbed her a bit, but not extensively. Also, I've never been allergic to anything, let alone cats. Any ideas or reco's???
