I think I've been bitten by all species under the sun.

Feline: My cat, countless other cats, especially of the "longkang" (drain) variety.

Canine: I remember Uncle Michael's "Major" the collie gnawing on me. Maybe it was because I let him. And many others.

Porcine: The piggies at school endlessly tugging at the ends of my overalls like they are a rare treat. And chomping down while doing an examination of their tongues.

Avian: By my uncle's parrot. Again. And the birdies and parrots in Armadale. Especially the female human hating emu. And the chook my grandmother "Ma ma" had in the backyard.

Bovine: When placing the rumen tube down. And the mouth gag. Don't see them as harmless vegetarians, their teeth really lacerate!

Ovine: The lambs in the cradle in Olimarena. Maybe its because my fingers look like their mum's teats and they want something comforting to suck on.

Equine: When looking horses in the mouth. Therein lies the saying about the proverbial gift horse.

Rodentia: My hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits. The dwarf hamsters are the worst. Their teeth are like tiny needles. And they somehow know where to bite where it hurts the most.

Fishies (For lack of a more scientific sounding name): Incredulous I know. But goldfish and koi, especially the large ones, have a LOT of suction power. Fingers beware!

Amphibia: While feeding the froggies at Armadale, they overestimate the size of the cockroach and SWALLOW your finger as well. But I like froggies. They are cute. The teeny ninja turtles I used to have too. Before they decided the sewers were the place for them and headed down an open drain in their yard.

Batties: No not the Yeap. The black flappy things at Armadale. One of them especially liked me and would climb down to cling on me and taste to see if I was good eating. The next day I realised I could have got rabies. But so far I don't feel rabid. Cool.

Marsupials: The roos at Armadale. Especially when they get jealous. The grumpy southern hairy-nosed wombats when they get woken up too. But I usually up my way out of there before they can catch up with me to do it.

Insects: The occasional love bite from the occasional mozzie.

Homo sapiens: Jialin has tried to eat me multiple times. Not nibbles. CHOMPS! Scary! Which is quite ironic, because she's vegetarian. I suspect that Weixin has harboured thoughts of biting me. It's just the way she stares at me I suppose. Hammy looks like she could do some damage with her sharky teeth...Help!
Love bites are more like love SUCKS aren't they? Incongruity. 0_o
My thoughts on love bites and how purely innocent hugging is far far better to me may appear on another post. Someday. = P

Hmm, I think that's about it so far hey? (Hey. How Aussiefied.) I wonder what I'll get bitten by next.

Oh well I've come out none the worse and all the better for it. At least I know now how NOT to get bitten.

No I'm not into self-mutilation. I'm just really into animals. In more ways than one. Like pregnancy testing cows. Another gross out story for another day. =)
