I poked around on Google a little -- here's a medical photo of a cat bite that looks very similar to the way my bites reacted -- in fact, the bite in the photo is in much the same location as the bites on my arm, though I got two punctures out of the "deal".

Note: The black/blue ink line on the patient's arm is used by doctors to track if/how the infection/swelling is spreading, as it does so rapidly.
