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.

Cant be trustedNot really had many pets, but probably for the best looking at my families history.
First pet I had a hamster who went by the name of smokey who didnt really like us. Did enjoy going out in the garden in his ball though. Garden had just been re-paved and was uneven in some places. The ball had cost £2.50.Ball hits stone flag and breaks. Smokey escapes. Didnt even notice until my mum came home and asked where the hamster was. Sadly, we have many hawks around where i lived.
More recently my uncle was pulling out of a pub and ran over a cat. After feeling the 'thud', decided to turn back and check the poor thing was okay. Ran over it AGAIN.Aparently it just ran away though, so couldnt have been hurt bad.
Lenght? Probably about 2 inches longer after it was repeatedly crushed by a ford transit!

Still, not your cat so not your problem. And don't even think of the kids crying cos you killed their cat you murdering b3stad. oh yeah. it was uncle. right

.I had a hamster that crashed it's little ball into a wall to break it open, then made a break for it. We usually caught him, but on one occasion he managed to get inside the sofa, in amongst the inaccessible-to-our-hands wooden framework. Took about an hour to get the little bugger out again.
