Accidental animal crueltyI once invented a brilliant game - I'd sit at the top of the stairs and throw cat biscuits to the bottom. My cat would eat them, then I'd shake the box, and he would run up the stairs for more biscuits. Then - of course - I'd throw a biscuit back down to the bottom. I kept this going for about half an hour, amused at my little game, and all was fine until the cat vomited. I felt absolutely dreadful.
Have you accidentally been cruel to an animal?
This question has been revived from way, way, way back on the b3ta messageboard when it was all fields round here.

I got my cat drunk...... on the day I got him.
It was coming up to Burns night 2004, and, in preparation, I was making some honey and whisky ice-cream. I'd made the custard base the previous day, and left it to cool prior to putting in the churn with a piece of greaseproof paper over it to prevent a skin forming.
The next morning, I went to get the cat from the RSPCA, and, as a welcome present, offered him the paper, on which there clung some of the custard mixture. It being mainly cream and egg yolk with a bit of honey, he should like it - and he did. It was only as he finished his treat and began to stagger that one of the ingredients of honey and whisky ice cream is... um... whisky, and that I had added some already.
As I said in a previous post, I am devoted to my cat... but sometimes not all that competent a guardian.
EDIT: First post, woo, yay, exclamation mark, etc...
