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 mumnuked my dad's japanese fish when i was a kid. Giving them shelter from the harsh british sunlight by placing them in the shade.
On a microwave. 2 deep fried fish later.... ouch.
then we had (through several mis-sexings) 50 hamsters - albino russian dwarfs to be precise - cute as the day is long.
We obviously couldn't keep them all - very funny to watch 4 small furry marbles in a hamster wheel - and have the slowest spinning round until he'd smack one of the fastest.
But I digress - My dad gave 1 baby to a work colleague - who gave it to her little sister, 13 or so - who had just obtained a boyfriend. As she spoke to her boyfriend, hamster on her lap... she lay on her duvet... the white - furry - duvet on her bed until she finished the conversation - rolling over occasionally. Human steam roller... yeah...
