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.

Our cat Ralphalso known as Flabbycat, used to love to get on the edge of the bathtub in our first apartment and stare down into the water left over after I'd had a shower- the drain was extremely slow- and would pace back and forth along it, staring as though the Loch Ness Monster would emerge from the depths.
One morning I invited him to have a closer look.
Cue one very angry cat emerging in an explosion of used bathwater, running through the apartment and taking out the ironing board and the telephone table on his way to hide under the bed, then spending the next two hours making noises like Yoko Ono...
