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.

melon 1, cat nil.as i've said before, i used to live in a high-rise block. many fun things can be done at the top of one of these blocks, including giving stationary objects flying lessons out of the 13th floor window.
now, as i've also mentioned, there's a large colony of feral cats living behind said block.
one day, after leaving it in my fridge until it grew fur, i decided(along with a fellow b3tan) to give a watermelon its chance to imitate the birds. we lugged it up to the 13th floor, opened the window and thus began the maiden flight of the airship cantaloupe.
straight down, of course.
just as we let go of the melon, we spotted the cat. it was walking across the pavement, right towards the melon's point of impact.
"it's going to hit the cat!" said i.
"let me see!" says he.
fortunately, the melon hit the ground 3 feet away from the cat.
unfortunately, the large piece that broke off on impact shot straight at the cat, hitting it so hard, it almost flipped over.
cruel? maybe. funny? hell, yeah!
