Dogs and cats are a lurking household danger, according to a new report showing the pets cause all kinds of injuries related to falls.

Even though cats are known to follow at your heels, or right beneath your feet, dogs were involved in nearly 7.5 times as many injuries as cats.
And all along we thought it was our cats who were out to kill us - turns out all along, it was the dog!
As cats are mostly homebodies, it's no surprise most falls involving the bossy felines (nearly 86 percent) occurred in or around the house. Nearly 12 percent of these injuries happened while people were chasing cats.
Who the heck chases cats?!?
