I have a lot of anxiety and worry a lot if something unusual happens - I never had a cat before and it happened so quickly -It is a black cat about 7 months old and I never had a dog or cat jump on me so I thought the weight of the cat could injure the legs - I had slacks on so it couldn't scratch my legs -I am not sure how much it weighs -So it cannot injure me in any way -I also worry because I am getting older
Brief Answer:
Cat is light in weight - cannot injure you.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The weight of a 7 month old cat is not likely to be more than 2 kgs. Such a small weight cannot injure your legs in any way. Since you were wearing slacks there is no chance of any scratch. So you need not worry.
