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.

My own cathas a real name- Josephine. I've always insisted on giving pets proper names, rather than Fluffy or Tiddles or whatever idiotic sounding name little old ladies give them- I've always felt that if they were a member of the family, they needed a real name.
Of course I also give them nicknames like Dirtbag or Flabbycat, but they do have real names.
A friend of mine was dating a woman whose cat was named Doofus Doodles. The moment I heard that I knew that it wouldn't work out between them...
