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.

My sister's cat is a bit dense.It would chase anything you dangle in front of it, behind it, in earshot of it, or anywhere really.
One day, while bored having a family xmas at the family home, I was tormenting the cat with string and other bits of stuff. I then decided it needed to be more exciting - so I tied the string around the cat's tail.
At first it was just funny watching him race in circles trying to catch that elusive bit of string. Then he started getting faster and faster, spinning wildly around the room. That is, until he span head first into a table leg at high velocity. Damn near knocked him out. He staggered backwards and slumped into a half sitting, half collapsed pile where he swayed back and forth looking like he'd been at the xmas spirit. It took him a good ten minutes before he was able to stand up without swaying.
He lost interest in the string after that.
