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 as dramatic as most...Mine isn't that bad. I had a daft-headed Irish setter who loved food. Her favourite thing to do was steal food, she didn't always eat it, sometimes she just put it in her bed and lay on it and refused to get up. But anyway.
One of her favourite things to eat was cheese. So one day I was sitting around and I dropped her a lump of Cheddar. She ate it off the floor (couldn't catch anything, ever) and was happy. So I dropped her another. Same thing. Then I dropped another one, but it accidentally went into her water bowl. So she stuck her long nose into the water bowl and fished it out, making squirfling noises and bubbles. I thought this was so funny that I started dropping cheese into her water bowl on purpose. I'm sorry, but a dog farting out of its nose really is kind of funny.
