The bite from a giant centipede is incredibly painfull, not for just a short while, the pain is intense for several hours, & persists with less severity for several days, as does the associated swelling.
The best treatment is to wash the bite as soon as possible, then use ice to relieve the pain.
In "James and the Giant Peach," the Centipede has 42 legs.
the largest centipede FOUND (key word: found) was at about 9 inches long in the UK. then, someone in Venezuela claims to have seen a centipede about 18 inches long. but just because humans have seen/caught centipedes this long, it doesn't make it the largest!
An ant does not have the ability to make a bite twice as painful. The ant may actually bite twice which makes the bite feel more painful.

A centipede bite looks a lot like a bee sting or a mosquito bite. Some centipede bites don't leave much of a visible mark. It depends on the size of the centipede. They usually prefer to run away rather than biting to defend themselves.

This really depends where in the world you are, and what species the centipede is. Most centipedes can deliver a painful bite which can cause swelling and other symptoms. If you believe your kitten to have eaten a centipede, or any other insect, you should take the kitten to the vets immediately.
