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.

I sat on the AiredaleMy friend Tere had an Airedale named Major. I was sitting on the couch with Major lying next to me. I stood up to grab something just out of reach, then sat back down without looking. My feet hadn't moved, but Major had stretched out amd I landed right on top of his hindquarters. I fell to my knees, and for half a second I had 80 pounds of enraged carnivore going for my throat. Then Major realized I was a friend and it had been an accident, and he started nuzzling me to make up.
