In the first year of my new house (before I got my two cats) I discovered and killed three scorpions inside the house. These are the small, brownish-gold, semi-translucent ones you find in central Texas. Terminix has sprayed inside and out, but nevertheless, one or two scorpions will probably get in again this summer.
My understanding is, getting stung by one of these scorpions is not that much worse than a bee sting -- at least for a human (still, Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m keeping my eyes out for them…).
Question is, what about cats? My cats have shown a keen interest in pursuing various insects when they appear and Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m sure scorpions would be no different.
If a cat gets stung by a scorpion, how dangerous is it to the animal (other than the pain they would have to endure)?
