No mention of dogs.

You also stand a far higher chance of breaking your neck tripping over the bloody things. Why can't these researchers do the simple things right? A call to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents would reveal that, every year, thousands of people are injured and some even die as a result of being tripped by their pets.

I know. One of ours tripped me up on the stairs, I fell from top to bottom. Ended up with badly bruised ribs and went into shock later that night. Mrs Tel decided to call doctor when I started to complain about elephants riding bicycles on my pillow.

I'm not a medical man but that sounds more like a surfeit of alcohol than shock.  whistle:

Doctor gave me Valium. cloud9:

Agreed.

Quote
cat ownership was related to a 40% lower risk of suffering a fatal heart attack. 
The other 60% all died of tripping injuries.

We have several cats but they live outside virtually all the time.
