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.

There are manyWhen we were kids our hamster had babies and, excitedly, when my brother and I got back from school I lifted the rotostak housing up to get a good look at them. There was a bit of oohing and aahing from us as we had a good look at them (no touching mind, as we had been informed by our own matriarch that the mother would eat them if we touched them and they smelt of people - bearing in mind her own string of unsuccessful pregnancies, hopefully she wasn't speaking from personal experience) before I replaced the housing, not noticing that mother dearest (hamster) was craning her neck over the edge and got two stories in the neck. Lots of tears. We ended up giving the babies to Madonna.
