Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Since you are having exposure with cats, possibility of cat scratch disease is high. It is acute infection present as enlarged cervical lymphadenopathy. So possibility of enlargement of infective enlargement of neck lymph nodes is high which is causing swollen neck and lump behind ear. So get done ultrasound examination of neck. You may need antibiotics. Avoid cat exposure. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
