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 brotherWhen he was 3 or 4, he felt really sorry for earthworms. They had to live in the muddy garden, getting all cold and wet, while he had the luxury of a house.
So he gathered as many as he could, put them in a shoebox lined with old rags, and put them in the airing cupboard to get warm again.
When he went to look to see if they were any happier yet, they'd dried out.

Perhaps.It's hard to tell with a toddler. They have the attention span of a bluebottle.
