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.

The light...The light!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Not cruel, but not exactly kind!
I live with a couple of friends who have two great cats. The magic of laser pointers drives them insane when the little red dot of light is zipping across the carpet and up the walls. They go completely nuts for it!
On day 'S' was sitting watching TV and during the ads started whizzing the light around on the carpet. The cats went nuts for it as usual and then came the evil grin on 'S' face.
He moved the red dot around the room and finished with it on the switch for the TV. Both cats sat transfixed watching it, waiting fo rthe next move. 'S' then put the TV on standby and left the cats now staring at the red LED of the TV power button instead of the laser pointer.
After an hour, both cats were still there watching the red LED and 'S' couldn't bare to leave them there like that, so whizzed the laser pointer about a bit to get them out of their trance!
They still fall for the same trick every time!
