If a cat stung a scorpion, it would probably kill it. The venom in a scorpion is enough to kill the average house cat.WRONG.......Actually it will most likely NOT kill a cat. The average house scorpion does NOT have enough venom to kill a cat, only the bark scorpion does and you can tell if it is a bark scorpion if it can climb walls! Scorpions are not monsters but are dangerous, if your house pet starts to drool or have tremors or difficulty breathing they should see a vet but mostly they will live.
