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.

I didn't consider cruelty until recently, to me it was just playing.As a child I used to always play with little spiders. They would always get confused and unable to escape from a triangle of index, middle finger and the opposite index. They'd eventually climb onto my fingers.
I would then hold a palm underneath them to trick them into thinking they were close to the ground. They'd spin their way down and I'd start winding them back up with my two indexes as they spun down and down. Eventually they realise it's not working and climb back up, and I put my palm underneath them again.
It'd go on for at least ten minutes where I suspect they run out of web. Poor fuckers. Wait, is that Spiderman I see outsi--

At least you didn't kill them.Or at least, I assume you didn't. Non-sadistic playing with animals...wow, an actual well-adjusted child! They exist?

you probably did kill themmaking web takes alot of spidey energy.
Apparently you can kill some of them just by breaking their web and taking it away.
They need to eat the old web to get the energy to make a new one so they can catch food.
