Better stay away from rabbit hutches and cat houses.

Might be a wise idea lest I end up with more of the pain and blood that these all had.

My sisters and I used to raise rabbits; the rabbit bites came from a one of a particularly temperamental breed. She would bite, and bite hard, and refuse to let go, for seemingly no reason at all.

As for the cats, the frightened cat bit me because she was cornered on my bookshelf; she had a vet appointment, otherwise I'd've let her stay there till she decided she wanted out. Very, very, very frightened and defensive cat, for she'd been abused as a kitten.

The other was from one of the cats I have now, who just got really pissed off one night when our other cat tried to shove her out of my lap.

I could never begin to list all my scars....... LOL

How about I say it this way:

9 broken bones, both knees surgically repaired, severed left knee cap, chainsaw to the hand, LITERALLY hundreds of stitches in my life.

Hell, I just counted 9 scars on my hands alone.......

In my head one can feel the dents from a set of six bolts that were screwed into my skull...

Oh yeah, I forgot about the wires and silicon discs.
