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.

Should've named him HooverI've an ancient, decrepit dog named Trevor, who my family saved from the shelter when I was just a little Fredlet. That smelly mongrel, love him as I do, will consume ANYTHING that looks remotely edible.
This, of course, is irresistable to anyone that has seen his lively cajoling for a morsel of food.
Feeding him a grape was mildly amusing, as he just sort of rolled it around on his tongue trying to swallow it, but when the big lump insisted on trying one of those Listerine strip things that resemble a small piece of clingfilm, it was a sight to remember.
Making these odd "muff-huhhhh" noises, he loudly slapped his chops open and shut whilst shaking his head from side to side--the insanity peaked when the strip, plastered to his writhing tongue as it slowly dissolved, made contact with his nose as he flailed.
A loud sneeze echoed through the house as he propelled little globules of minty-mildew smelling dog saliva all over me and my bewildered housecat(who had just sauntered in).
Eurgh.
Length? Well, depending on which strand of phlegmy saliva you're talking about, anywhere from eight to eighteen inches.
