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.

What is it about cats....
... that makes them such a good (and often hilarious) subject?
Some years ago, one of my mates once accidentally washed his mothers cat. It got into the washing machine when he wasn't looking, he loaded his clothes in on top (apparently it just sat there), completely oblivious, started the cycle and went off down the pub.
When he returned some time later, he was greeted by his distraught mother who informed him that when the washing had done, she had emptied the machine to put the clothes in the drier. And found a very dead (but presumably clean) cat in there too...
Oh, and anyone ever gotten pissed up with mates whose cats have just had kittens, picked up said kittens and lobbed them at similarly drunk mates in a new game known as "velcro kitten" (they cling on with their claws about 80% of the time). No, just me?

It's because they pretend to have such dignity and grace that when they're exposed for the silly dippy things they are, it's all the more funny than, say, dogs, who have no dignity to lose in the first place.
