Answer: Cat

Horse was a particularly big nasty cat whose mother was an alley cat with an eye patch and a hook instead of a front paw. His father is reputed to be a barracuda. Not quite sure how that one works.

While not venomous or fatal they can inflict a painful bite. The author knows this through first hand experience.
