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 heard a terrible one last night...My son said that this happened to the uncle of a friend of his.
He was driving along and he hit a cat. Being a basically decent person, he pulled over immediately and went back to check, and found the cat lying there and not moving much. He thought that the best thing to do was to put it out of its pain, so he got a baseball bat from the car and finished it off.
He took the car to a garage for some work and the mechanic looked at the car and said, "You hit a cat."
"How did you know that?!?"
"It's still in the grille..."
So the guy had beaten a cat to death who had merely been taking a nap.
I don't know whether to laugh or track the guy down and beat him with his own bat...

Probably better to find the person who startedthat particular urban myth and do it to them.

I certainly hopethat it's an urban legend! Having that actually happen is to horrid to contemplate. I hit a cat last spring and felt absolutely horrible- in fact, I still get sad thinking about it.
