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.

Budgie mishapWhen I was young, we had budgerigars for many years - two or three at a time, but when one died of old age, we'd get another to replace it.
One budgie met with a slightly less pleasant ending unfortunately - whilst my mum was cleaning out their cage, one escaped and made a bid for freedom, heading towards the open kitchen door.
My sister slammed the door closed to prevent its escape, but unfortunately the budgie had reached the door, and was about halfway through it.
