  The cat was my pet probably 20 years ago. He jumped on the table and landed on a plate of barbecue sauce, so I had the bright idea to try to give him a bath to wash it off. He didn’t like baths.

  The dog was probably 37 years ago. I was around 13 or 14. The dog was attacking a neighbor kid who was about 6 years old, so I was intervening to save the kid. The kid got away and my yelling attracted the dog’s owner’s attention. Not until after I got bit. It was some kind of German Shepard mix. My parents and the parents of the six year old reported him to the police, but nothing really happened. I think the owner was a cop.

  I hated that dog. He was usually on the other side of a big fence and would bark super aggressively whenever anyone was near. When I intervened he had the kid’s head in his mouth. I kicked him in the ribcage as hard as I could, and he turned on me.

  I got stitches from both incidents. Four for the cat bite and I think 12 from the dog. Cat was on the hand near the base of my thumb. The dog was on my right forearm.

  No stitches for the hamster, he was a pet, but not very domesticated- probably because we had cats in the house too. I was probably about 8.

    Cat teeth are more like needles. They also get infected more often.

    I say, as I snuggle my bitey cat

  I would bet money they’ve been bitten by a human that meant it, too.
