    YES!!! I've been hurt by a nice cat before I was walking down the hallway and my sister's cat was just running for no apparent reason as cats do and ran over my foot and those claws were out it left a cut that was probably 6 inches long on my foot and it took forever to go away to this day you can still see the faint scar and that was like 5 years ago!

    Aww beep bite!!! That does sound cute I'm pretty sure the time I cut myself on a steak knife while doing dishes hurt more than any Beep bite would! Or the time I got a sewing needle through the side of my foot because it was on the floor it literally went through I could see both ends of the needle!

    Exactly. Imagine that same scenario with any sort of traditional pet and it would be considered so rude to say something like that.

    Thats the thing. People assume since we've owned dogs for longer they are inherently more docile which is ridiculous. Any animal is capable of causing injury

    she was in fight or flight mode. happens to lotsa peeps when they're confronted by their fear and she chose to flee. it's primal and irrational. they just need to be eased into it. i've seen the same happen to police officers who come into home w/ snakes and lizards lol.

    True enough. Primates have an evolutionary fear of snakes. Useful if you live near wild venomous species, irrational when it comes to pets.

    If the snake isn't visible how is that being confronted by their fear? Also as I've said her job wasn't in the living room it was in the bathroom she didn't wanna be here to be begin with!

    it's the same reason why some don't wanna go swimming in the ocean even when they don't see a shark.
