This is a normal post Hmm
I wonder if she is aware that they are toxic wee beasties? I kid you not... the only poisonous mammals, the slow loris.

This is a normal post I don't think that they're the only ones...
There's quite a few shrews which are venomous too:

This is a normal post I had an inkling of it.
One of those factoids which may have been featured on QI at one point or another. Did a search to confirm.

In other words, I like cats.

This is a normal post Do Duck Billed Paltypus's not have a poisonous barb too?

This is a normal post *slow reply award*
I think there's some techincal differences between what loris, shrews and platypus do. Can't recall though... *vaguely remembers some teaching*

This is a normal post I read about somebody researching Loris poison
which is, they think, the same as whatever the thing is in cat dander (or cat saliva, I don't know) which makes people allergic to cats. Only worse. Also, because the poison is intoxicating, slow lorises are made into wine, and sometimes dried and smoked.

This is a normal post I think she knows

This is a normal post They're
the only poisonous primates. There are a lot of poisonous mammals.
Anyway, the venom isn't strong enough to kill a human. Just hurts like hell, and that little munchkin's face is so precious I would definitely risk it.
