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.

Cute little deformed fish fryJust to set the scene, my o/h (lets call him Jordanis3r) has very selective hearing (although when boobs or computer is mentioned in a sentence (not in the same sentence), well would you look at that, he hears every word!).
So, we have some fish that have mated & we keep the 'fry' in a separate tank. A few of them are a little deformed (mouths the size of pin points, hump backs and the like) but they are cute little buggers and I will not feed them to the larger fish as suggested on some fish sites.
Anywho, one is looking a bit peaky so I decide to put him in a glass bowl so that I can have a closer look and keep an eye on him - 'Jordanis3r' says I, 'I have put the little fish in a bowl on the window to keep an eye on him'.
'Ok' replies Jordanis3r.
Fast forward a few hours:
Jordanis3r: 'is there anything else to go in the dishwasher.....um....was there a fish in that bowl on the window?...'
Emphasis on the 'was' - he had poured the cute little deformed fishy down the plug hole.
