Waking up itching all over when waking up in the morning and sometimes with red bumps. Am I having an allergic reaction to my cat? Cat is in my bedroom 70%-80% of the time when I’m home

Post was deleted before so I’m reposting with pictures included this time.

I had an indoor cat for 10 years. Live in the city. I been waking up itching for over a year now. At first I thought it could be bed bugs and threw my mattress out and bought a new one with a mattress encasement. Never saw a bed bug or any evidence of one.

I also thought it may be my detergent but I bought new bed sheets from Amazon hypoallergenic sheets. I went 3-4 nights without itching on the new sheets. The itching started again along with the red bumps.

When I go to my girlfriend house and stay the night I don’t itch or wake up with red bumps at all. It’s only at my house. My girlfriend doesn’t itch or wake up with red bumps when she stays the night at my house either.

I came to the conclusion that it may be my cat. Just taking a guess but I think it may be causing it. I have allergies and asthma. Take Claritin daily.

Do my symptoms sound like my cat could be causing this? If so how do I deal with this without having to get rid of her? I’m in my 30s male if that’s relevant.
