Goring (using horns) is unique in that the ox's intent is to damage, and the ox is the owner's property who needs to watch it; its subcategories include squatting and kicking.Eating (tooth) is unique in that the animal's intent is for self-gratification; its subcategories include an animal scratching against the wall or soiling fruit by frolicking on it.
Do subcategories have the same laws as the main damages? Mostly yes, except in a case where a cow was walking, and a pebble shot from under its foot and broke vessels, for which the owner pays only half the damages.
