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 strictly cruelty but very accidentalBut anyway, my mate killed his girlfriend's cat!
He only fessed up to us about 4 years after it happened. She still doesn't know but they're getting married next year so I've a feeling it might slip out...
Apparently he (aged 16) had been round her house and found himself alone in her room. For some reason rather than doing the sensible male adolescent thing of rummaging through her underwear he was listening to the Arsenal match on the radio. As the match went on he got a bit overexcitied and started jumping up and down on the bed...which promptly broke crushing the unfortunate moggy innocently asleep underneath.
In a panic he then picked up the dead cat, snuck downstairs to the garage and put it behind the front wheel of her mum's car.
