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.

As a spectator sportfew things beat putting a pole for a birdfeeder out in some water and applying a thick coating of vaseline to it. The squirrels go to jump onto the pole, spin around a little and end up taking an unexpected bath.
(Another top tip: get some 4" aluminum duct- the sort they use for kitchen vents and the like, not the corrugated flexible stuff- and put it around the pole for your birdfeeder. The squirrels can't climb it.)
