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.

Probably not the first time it's happened to someone, but;Once my mother was putting the washing in the machine and realised she'd left a shirt or something upstairs and went to get it, she got back down and popped it in, set it to whatever wash and went out.
When she came to empty it she pulled out my now passed away (but very clean) kitten.
Poor thing had climbed in when she went upstairs.
On telling this story to a work colleague 2 minutes ago he said a similar thing happened to his Mum except it was a tumble drier - and they had to get a new one. :-(
Poor pussies...
Oh, and she cleaned the new fish tank glass with bleach once.....
