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.

do flies count?Last night as I was making a lovely omelette I noticed that a big bluebottle was very interested in the hot blue hissy stuff coming out of the black round metal thing.
Did I shoo it away with a kindly tea-towel?
Did I fuck, I was concentrating on not burning the lovely omelettey goodness, and why was it still alive anyway? It's freezing cold!
I just watched as it nuked itself in the fly-Piper-Alpha, and there was no fly-Red-Adair or fly-burns-unit there to help it either.
Then I thought, Great! I've got a thing to post on the qotw. Then I thought, yeah, but it's rubbish. Then I thought, sod it, I'll post it anyway.
And here we are.

It was far too overdone.
