It might be easier to list what hasn't bitten me . . .

Dogs, chickens, fish, more bugs and insects than I can remember, budgies, rabbits, maybe humans, and almost by a horse. Glad tha last one didn't become a reality. Otherwise I'd have one less ear

More things than I can remember. But, the 2 that I remember the most because they hurt and/or caused me the most damage was a cat and a copperhead snake. The cat by far the worst as far as the extended pain and swelling. It lasted for months. He was my cat, but he didn't realize it was me when he sank those toofies to the hilt in my hand. Once he had them buried, he started like grinding them around. Once he realized it was me he immediately stopped, but the damage was done.

My last bite was by a cat. I had caught it in a have-a-heart trap and I recognized it as one of my neighbors cats, and I had a collar on. I went to the trap, saying it's name, and put my fingers on the cage, not expecting anything bad. To both my shock and horror, that cat twisted it's head and bit down to the bone on one of my fingers. Because I panicked, I tried pulling my finger away which I think made it worst, as the cat was still in the trap and neither was coming with me. My finger stayed swollen for several days and there's still marks where she bit me. This happened two weeks ago, and I still have a bandaid on it to protect my finger because it will still hurts.

I encountered dog bites, 3 times in my life so far. First one was my dog. I as teasing her, trying to pretend to take her food. I learned quickly. That was soooooo many moons ago.
Second time was , I tried to pet a random dog thru fence. Guess he didn't think it was a friendly gesture.
Third time was a random snap, on hand, but did not break skin.

Encountered kitten bites one time. I then learned to use leather gloves. These were small feral kittens I as trying to pick up, and put into a cage, to take to a rescue center. Their teeth were sharp like needles. Thin as well like needles. Pierced skin on finger with ease.

A friend on mine encountered a Muskie bite to his toe, as he was sitting on a pier, with his feet in water. I told him to NEVER consider skinny dipping in that lake ever.

I’ve been bitten by cats, dogs, ferrets, and other small animals. I’ve also been bitten/pecked by parakeets and cockerels.
Funniest bite was a blowfish that bit my stomach when mr. Muddy was teasing me with it. I didn’t even know they had big teeth like that!
