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.

Sleepy puddy tat, sleepier now.Possibly a pea, and best details are eroded by hash abuse so I'll keep it short.
The missus was on a late shift and I left the house to picke her up at 10pm. I felt a slight bump when reversing from my parking space, but presumed that I'd been close to the divider or something. Got home to see that a rather cute black (and pretty large) kitty must have been the 'bump' I felt and it managed to stagger 2 or 3 steps before expiring. I've read about some pretty stupid cats this week, but deciding not to move when someone gets into the car you're under & starts it up??!!
Being consciencious and practical, I picked it p by the tail (It would've reacted if it were still alive) and put it in a nearby wheelie-bin to stop it being shredded & spread across the streeet by foxes.
The cruelty part is that my wife thought I would get into all sort of bother for killing the cat. She actually believed that I would be arrested for not reporting it / prosecuted by the RSPCA for putting it in a bin / become the most hated resident in the street (we didn't know anybody anyway!) / go to jail for cat theft etc. She thought I was being incredibly cruel by the convulsions of laughter I was in, but didn't realise that it was due to the shit she was coming out with.
Length? No more than two feet before it dropped.
