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.

Drunken doggyMy girlfriends Mother once accidently gave their Springer Spaniel some vodka! The girlfriend brought it back home one weekend having decanted it into a water bottle, so her Mum thought it was just water and rather than waste it, put it in the dogs bowl...
By all accounts the dog was paraletic, she was bumping into everything, falling over everywhere. The parents, not realising what they'd fed the dog thought maybe she'd gone blind all of the sudden
First we heard about it was when they rang us asking what was in that bottle
The dog was hung-over pretty much motionless version of her normally lively self for the couple of days that followed.
Great dog, sadly passed away several years later
