Yes. Feline tongues have small barbs, or papillae all over the surface. They are raspy and designed to rip the meat off of bones. (If you have been licked by your cat, you already know this.) The backward-pointing barbs serve to move food and water into the cat's mouth. Human skin is not protected by thick fur and will therefore abrade and eventually bleed just like a scrape from a fall off a bicycle.
