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.

Gerbiloons! Well, hamsters actually.If you put a drinking straw into a hamster's cage, it's more than likely it'll come and chew on the end. A gentle puff down the straw and their cheek pouches blow up like balloons. Absolutely hilarious when you're about 10, until you realise you're forcibly stretching the skin of their cheeks. Fortunately, I don't think I ever did it hard enough to cause damage.
Still, some of them deserved it. Especially the russian ones. The only way to get the little buggers out of the cage was to put your hand in and wait for the to latch on...
