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.

Tried this once on an ant.At one of the usual family barbeques, I was sitting with my family on the deck when we noticed an ant crawling across one of the tables.
The subject of suspended animation came up, and we decided to experiment on the ant.
Someone got an ice cube and placed it on top of the offending ant.
Within a minute, the ant had stopped moving and wouldn't respond to any stimulus.
So we sat and watched to see if it would come back to life, and sure enough, after a few more minutes, it started slowly moving again.
As soon as it recovered completely, I squished it.
It was an ant, after all.
