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.

2 story cat fallMy cat called Mad Madeline has a passion for human food. Given the opportunity, she will scarf anything.
We were living in an attic room with a sprial staircase when she was about 3. I had just finished a packet of potato chips and I carelessly threw the empty packet on the floor.
Watching the telly I heard a rustling sound and turned around to see Maddy with her head firmly stuck in the chips packet. She then proceeded to walk backwards around the room. The problem was she ran backwards towards the spiral staircase and before I could get to her, she fell down the stairs!
I rushed over and looked downstairs fearing that she was dead only to see her (with the bag still firmly fixed to her head) walking bakwards towards the basement stairs.
She then tumbled another story down. I was seeing a massive vet bill in the near future as I ran down the 2 flights to pick up the body of my beloved cat.
When I got to her she was washing her butt and acting like she meant to do it.
Unintentional but extremely funny to watch

Similar story but not as extreme -my cat Doris went for some wrapped leftover cake on the table, and got so engrossed in trying to nose the wrapper open that she fell off the table. I almost pissed myself.
