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.

Brain DamageWhen my nephew was about 10, he had a new kitten. Everything went fine until one day it decided to try and follow him into the car, without him noticing. Slamming the car door behind him, he managed to squash the kitten's head between the door and the frame. It staggered around for a minute and then ran off uncoordinatedly.
When it eventually got hungry and returned, they took it to the vet, who said that there wasn't any physical damage, but that the cat may have recieved brain damage.
It never was quite the same. It became slow, docile and would drool very often. Lovely cat though.
So my advice - if you want your cat to be more of a house cat, slam its head in a car door.

Sounds like my catsWe've got 4 cats and they're all like that - slow, spend half their
lives asleep and drool anywhere between infrequently and copiously depending on exactly which moggy it is.
As far as I know, we've never asphyxiated any of them...
