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.

Can't believe I didn't remember this immediatelyMy sister had two guinea pigs... cute, stinky, boring. Hamsters or gerbils would have been much more fun. These little bastards just sat there all day waiting to be fed lettuce scraps. Miserable existence in and of itself.
Anyway, she bought an oversized running ball, the kind you put a hamster or mouse in so they can run freely on the floor without getting under the couch. It was a great big one, probably 15 inches in diameter. We put Cuddles the guinea pig in... and she just sat there. Did jack shit. It had no inclination to walk anywhere when you put her on the floor anyway, why should it walk around in a big pink prison ball?
So I grabbed our then-kitten, Cali, and slipped her into the ball... she was just a tad too big for it but sure enough in she went and the lid went on.
Bewildered, she begins trying to back away from the great pink wall in front of her. But it's not working! She's still in the ball! Oh, the horror! Cali kept backing up and backing up, never once figuring out the mechanics of the ball. After leaving her in there long enough she figured out how to get around by moving backwards.
It was great until she backed into the dog, who, equally bewildered, barked and attacked the ball with such ferocity that it sent the poor kitten clear across the floor and into the wall. There she stayed for a horrifying ten seconds with only a thin layer of plastic protecting her from a great big flesh-tearing beast. Upon rescuing her, finally breaking her free of the wee pink jail cell, I watched her hobble away and hide under the rug.

Guinea pigsI have never seen the point. They're just like furry rocks.
