I've never had anything close to an attack, but have had a few times when i've been injured by a pet.
currently a childless, cat lady. first cat gave me a scratch almost from elbow to wrist within the first week I had her. she was a teeny little thing with Freddy Krueger, razor blade kitten klaws. total accident that bled like crazy. even with thorough cleaning and Neosporin, it was an ugly mess for probably a month before it even started to fade.
at one time, had 2 Rotties... that slept at the foot of my bed. I never knew which to "blame", but one of them stomped on my ankle, leaving a knife-like cut about 1.5" long. in hind-sight, coulda taken a stitch or 2... it eventually healed up.
last dog was a red Dobie. she apparently heard something and took a leap off the bed. I was asleep and she hit me in the face. a very clean slash almost from corner to corner under my eye... a dozen stitches and a great shiner to talk about when I went back to work.
current cat... n animal shelter kitten who chose me... either loves me to pieces or is trying to kill me. I'm sure it's the former, but can't even think of walking across a room without shuffling my feet to avoid stepping on her or tripping over her.
soooo how has a pet injured you?

Just a few accidental cat scratches mostly.
I did have a mean cat attack me once out of vengeance. That cat hated me for no reason at all and the feelings were mutual. My mom and dad eventually took her up north in the backwoods when they retired where she could be an outdoor/indoor cat. She loved it! She killed everything!
I would not keep a vicious animal when there are so many sweet ones sitting in the local animal shelters. All of my animals were rescues and they were all so sweet, gentle, and loving. I miss them! 😢

My cat scratches are my own fault.

Oh yeah, my dwarf hamsters used to bite me all the time when I picked them up to clean their cage. I started wearing leather gloves! 😄
