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.

Pedant time!Having a tin leg would carry no more risk in a thunderstorm than having an ordinary leg. Lightning strikes the tallest object in the vicinity, regardless of conductivity. A man and a same-sized bronze statue of a man are equally likely to be struck.
