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.

First of all, in my defense, it was payback. Or karma. Or whatever.I have a mini-dachshund who is pregnant. One day I was outside, picked her up when she didn't expect it. She was startled and peed a little down my shirt.
Few days later I couldn't sleep so took a sleeping pill. Also took a diuretic (water pill). My dog chose that night to sleep between my legs with her rear end toward me. I had a very realistic dream that I was in the bathroom and I really had to go. Woke up in the middle of the flood and sat on the toilet laughing so hard that my roommate woke up and asked groggily "What's going on?"
"I peed on my dog" I managed to gasp to her between laughs.
The next morning she's making her breakfast, she turns to me puzzled and asks..."WHAT did you say last night??"
