I have cellulitis in the calves of my legs. my cat sunk her claws into my leg and it has been leaking a clear liquid since - 3 days. what is this?

Infection: There is high risk of pasturella infection with cat scratches. I would see your MD and have it washed out and antibiotics likely needed. Clear liquid good sign, but redness around could be sign of infection....

Bartonella Hensalae: Cat scratch bacillus its called. Its on the claws of cats (kittens in particular). This is not to say its not just good old fashioned cellulitis with staph or strep. You need to see your doctor....antibiotics will likely be needed. Bacterium, Azithromycin or even Ciprofloxacin can be used. If your diabetic or have circulatory issues..even more important to act quickly.

Cellulitis: It is prob fluid that has collected from the leg being swollen from the cellulitis. I am assuming that you are on antibiotics already and under care for this cellulitis. If this is not true get to a doctor and start care.
