Ha, true!! My dad has old planes and it's a blast going up with him, viewing land, hearing him yelling at me in attempted conversation (open craft), getting to take the controls for a bit. . .
my cats have bitten me. when I had rats mice and hamsters they all bit me a few times, and when I hand feed my killis, they get me a lil, but it doesnt hurt.
Next person has and uses one of those back scrather things that looks like a wooden hand on a stick :
