    [Off-topic] I got a similar pic of my cat biting my arm, while playing:

    This pic is from 10y ago. Nowadays I don’t let her do this any more, she became too rough to play.

    [On-topic] At least here in Brazil this kind of situation is covered under the following:

    • article 936 of the civil code - if your animal causes someone damage, you’re legally bound to reimburse it, unless you can prove that the victim is to blame
    • article 132 of the penal code - exposure of someone to direct and imminent danger; the article doesn’t say it but it’s usually interpreted to include failure to keep in check animals under your custody

    They’re both species-agnostic, so it’s the same deal for dogs, cats, or even horses.
