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.

Not directly cruel...My dad, after marrying his second and current wife (who bought my love with the best damn meatballs I've ever had in my gaddamn life)came into possesion of an incredibly hairy dog.
Once, he poured himself out a glass of beer, but left it precariously on a low coffee table whilst he went off to do other things.
When he returned, the glass was on the floor, but no beer could be seen.
The dog was apparently "acting funny" and "having trouble standing up" for the rest of the night.
The next morning, said dog was so hungover he stuck his head under their bed for most of the day, not moving, probably vowing never to drink again...
...but this happened a second time months later.
