This is a question Accidental animal cruelty

I 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.

I didn't do it, it wasn't my fault!
My kids' pet rat was climbing around the futon couch while kiddies watched Saturday morning cartoons. Roxie the rat got wedged in a crack and my son helpfully pulled her out of it. Roxie didn't let out a peep, my daughter did. She shrieked the fucking house down. I ran in to see her brandishing a big fat rat's tail with five or six bloody, raw,bare vertebrae on the end.

Danger Boy had simply stripped the flesh off her tail like pulling an artichoke leaf through your teeth when he "helped" her out of the couch.

Snap..
The same accident happened to my old rat Stoppit, but she had an operation and was fine, yet a tad unbalanced!!

Yes,
we rushed her to the vet (at phenomenally high Saturday rates) and she snipped off the skeletal remains and made a neat little end of Roxie's tail. Rox was fine after that.

We all felt horrible. She evidently forgave us, she was just as cuddly and kissy as she ever was.
