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.

felinicide and hamstercideA fews years back I lived in a high riser , I had a hamster and cat (kitten to be prescise).
One night after I got home frome work I could smell cat wee from the kitty litter, so I waltzsed over to the window in the living room and opend it. As I turned around I knocked the hamster cage of the book shelf and Helmet the hamster escaped straight under the settee. As I'm hurridly trying to catch the hamster the kitten got in the act and before I knew it she was about to pounce on Helmet. Grabbing kitty I flung her out the way as I slammed a bowl down to capture said hamster. I placed the hamster back in the cage then suddenly realised kitty wasn't in the room.
Just as I was about to think omg the door bell rang and a very discruntled neighbour from the bottom floor handed me my kitty unharmed, as kitty used her as a landing pad! I lived 5 floors up and I think kitty lost a few of her nine lives on the way down. The neighbour said that she heard a wailing noise and then felt a sharp pain on her back and neck whilst she was putting her rubbish out.
Helmet the hamster sadly died a few weeks later after he made another escape attempt and meeting its maker via an encounter with a my mother and a spade.
