Are oxytetracycline and penicillin from the same family?
No.
Penicillin comes originally from the penicillium mold (mould).
The tetracyclines all come from the streptomyces mold (mould). Oxytetracycline is related to streptomycin. Allergy to it probably means allergy to streptomycin, but not to penicillin. And vice-versa.

Can one overdose a cat with penicillin?
Overdose and 'giving too much' are 2 different things. An overdose is generally associated with medications that affect the central nervous system, such as pain meds, sedatives etc. BUT there are ALWAYS side effects to "giving too much" of a medication, ANY medication.
With antibiotics, giving "too much" can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (and a LOT of diarrhea), Ph imbalance, promoting yeast infections in the mouth, etc. PLUS with antibiotics, you can set off a severe ALLERGY reaction to that antibiotic, which can cause skin itching, hives, respiratory distress, throat swelling, and these reactions can cause respiratory failure and death.
Just like with humans, NEVER give more than the prescribed dosage to any cat, dog, or other pet. AND each pet or human must be evaluated-- never give an animal or human a med prescribed for another pet or another human.
