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.

More stories...For some reason my cat Sunny really enjoyed corn as a younger lad. After dinner one time, we put a corn cob on the floor for him to gnaw on. He then bit down so hard on the cob that it stuck to his top teeth. In a panic and with a mouth full of an enormous corn cob, he started shaking his head about to dislodge the cob. When that didn't work, he tried to work it out by biting at it with his free lower teeth.
Another time, my brother picked Sunny up and spun him around for a good minute. When he put him down, poor Sunny could barely walk and stumbled around like a drunkard.
And lastly - some stories of blatant animal cruelty.
A) Our other cat is named Honey...
B) We once kept a friendly stray cat and, in a preemptive move, named it Amanda. We later found out that it was a boy, but we kept the name. He disappeared a few years later; I'm assuming he was either struck by wanderlust again, or he could not stand his life as a transvestite cat any longer.

My cat loves corn as well.I've always thought we'd got the only weirdo, corn-eating cat.
