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?
