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.

OK I admit it -I used to have an amateur radio license. One day soon after I got it I had a set on and I heard a familiar callsign. It was Graham F, a boyhood pal from years before. So I called him and we were chatting about this and that. I didn't mention my name.
I began to tell him the story of how two wicked 11 year olds had connected a long pair of wires to an ancient hand cranked telephone generator and while one turned the handle for all he was worth, the other sneaked up on the cat.
Moggy's tail had received the full dose of 40 volts or whatever it was and Moggy streaked off to the backest part of the back yard and up a mulberry tree.
"How the - - - did you know that, that must have been thirty years ago."
A few second later he remembered "Redemption, you old bastard, I haven seen you for years!"
