Your avatar on this post is the perfect, and accurate, example for me, three times. Killed two.

I had a raccoon come in when I lived in Michigan and curled up on my bed. I never considered the critter a pet more like a pest!

I have a friend who was stung on her boob by scorpion, somehow it found its way into her bra and she did not notice, well a few seconds later she for sure did, OUCH ☺

No not really, just our neighbours jack russell will come around to visit, which I don't mind as he is very cute. I call him "freckles" as he has little brown spots on his white face that looks like freckles ☺

Not a pet... unwelcome animals, like a bat once or twice or fieldmice.

i don't like Nigel P. Woogie. he's a pompous, destructive, passive-aggressive pain. since he's my spouse's, i can't really do much about it.

well we have had many spiders and insects in our house, mice as well but the only "pet" i don't exactly welcome is my fat red cat who craps on the floor and attacks the other cats.

No in the USA but in the tropics, all kinds of lizards, bugs and an occasional bat.

I had a little grey mouse that kept coming in. He ended up stuck on some sticky paper for moths - I have a bunch of parrots and their food sometimes gets flour moths in it. Anyway, took his little foot off the paper and some fur came off. I put him outside. Next day he was back and fell into the waste paper basket. Took him outside again. That night I saw him limping past the fire place (the foot must have been bothering him) so I got out an old hampster habitrail, put him in it and Mickey lived happily for three years as my pet.

Yes, after I gave him his litttle "amusement park" he stopped limping. He really was a lot of fun. He used to do back flips when he was happy. I miss the little guy.

Reminds me of when I found our Chessie at the animal shelter. She had been hit in the rear legs by a car. She dragged herself to the front of the cage, looked at me sadly and licked my fingers. Took her into the "meeting room" and she limped a little, and was still sad. Took her out of the shelter, she was wagging her tail and she ju,nped right up into the front seat of the truck, eyes gleaming. She shot me a look like, "Well. are we gonna blow this Popsicle stand, or not?" Lat time she ever limped or looked unhappy. She was the alpha for 16 years.

Not a pet, but I had my windows open wide one summers day, I went for a shower and came into the bedroom to dry my hair, there on top of the wardrobe was a pigeon, what a carry on trying to get it out, Husband was no use, he doesn't like being up close to birds, so I had to put on my motorbike gloves and catch it, you wouldn't believe it, but the one place it didn't want to go towards was the window.!!!
