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.

Another bird in the grilleThere was a bunch of us in a friend's car, and he was relating to us a tale of having hit a blackbird on the way to a meeting 50 miles away. At the end of the meeting, someone came in and told him he had a bird stuck in the grille of his car, and it was still very much alive.
"I went out to the car, and sure enough, there was this female blackie jammed in the grille, arse first, with its head sticking out", he told us.
So he eased it out and off it flew, none the worse for its high speed journey, except possibly for being 50 miles from its home. But then one of the other blokes in the car with us when the story was being related, a rather un-PC type, responded with, "A female blackie? Surely you mean 'negress.'"
Two QOTW topics in one.
