Do you have bruised shins from your cat?

Because I belong to my cat, she has rubbed her head and face on my shins for so long (11 years) both of my shins are permanently bruised. In fact, I often wonder if, when I die, the doctors will be questioning my husband about the bruises "sir, did you ever beat your wife in the shins"
Have your cat(s) bruised your shins? What about other "injuries"?

Not yet I don't. My cats are still baby kittens they are 5 months old now so not really big enough to do much damage yet. I suppose when they get older though I will have many a brusies as they do love to rub against your legs to show you they love you what a way to show they love you leave bruies on your legs! lol

LOL. I can't believe this never occurred to me. I should start by explaining that I run into a ridiculous amount of stuff and have bruises everywhere, so one on my shin doesn't really stand out.
I did however wonder how they got there. I have a Siamese cat, and the are notorious for head-butting, and she particularly likes my shins, at least compared to the table leg. Hmm...thanks for the insight.

I can't say that has happened. My cat is pretty gentle and spends the majority of her day on the chair. SHe wants to stay away from the dog. I like her and she likes me but no
hard rubbing has ensued fortunately.

For whatever reason that medical science hasn't been able to figure out I had a black cat while I was pregnant with my first child that I was not allergic too.
Weird. Very very weird. But anyway this cat never abused me but he was the greatest cat in the world.
My then boyfriend worked nights and I was all alone in our house with no one to keep me company but this cat. I hated sleeping alone so the cat would sleep in bed with me. He would lay behind me and put his claws out just a little bit and drag his paws down my back repeatedly scratching it until I feel asleep.
I loved that cat. He ran away when we moved after my baby was born. I think he was mad I wouldn't let him sleep in the same room with me and the baby anymore.
