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's a pretty equalmix of things that make you want to say "bastard" and things which are verging on the fluffieh tiem.
For your consideration:
One hamster, safely ensconced within his gloriously technological exploring device -- a hamster ball.
One youngest brother, just about walking, learning to play football. Well, kick things, at any rate.
Like all the other stories, and your mum, there's definitely no need to finish off.
And animals are most definitely crueller than humans -- our beloved cat managed to dispose of three albino rabbits (we were stupid enough to replace it each time) by biting their throats out. He left the non-albino guinea pig alone though, the racist bugger.
Oh, and never buy a springer spaniel, they're generally crossed with lunatics at some point in their line. I have seen our dog hump a fake fur coat (pimp fancy dress), a rabbit (live), a chair leg, a toy truck, and my brother's girlfriend's leg -- guess which one of those got covered with the special spaniel sauce?
I can't believe she didn't dump my brother. Cruelty *by* an animal. Close enough.
EDIT: correktin mye speeling
