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.

not exactly cruel but...i remember a teacher at college goin on about an experiment he'd heard of where the put special goggles on kittens that flipped the image vertically. then left them until they were used to it wand walked round as normal. then when the took the goggles off the kittens were walking round like drunkards for hours.

I've heard of thatonly it was human subjects that they used. I remember it as being done in the 60s, as they showed us a film of the guy when I was in seventh grade or so...

You can do this to yourself.Wear a pair of glasses that invert your vision. After a few hours or so, your vision will return to normal. When you remove the glasses you will see the ceiling as the floor and vicsa versa.
Very amusing I'm told.

I'm told it makes you feel very ill mostlyMaybe you were thinking of the one where they sellotape the kittens eyes shut when it's born and then take them off a month or so later and they're blind even though their eyes work? Horrible experiment :(

Its a psychology thingAll to do with the programming of the eyes.
Like another one they did, keeping kittens in a box with only vertical lines.
Few months old they play with them and cannot see horizontal thing so they trip over string :(
Wish my experiments were more interesting
