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.

Stupid kid..er Dog..er Kid...Dog was Rhodesian Ridgeback, I was small child.
I was sent to get dog out of garden, Dog played silly beggers.
I got 12 ft wooden pole used to hold up clothesline, and managed through childish luck, to clout dog on head to attract attention. Dog got cross and a second clout. It came inside.
Next Day , Dog was rushed to Vets to have Cancerous lump on head xrayed by worried Mum shaped owner at vast expense.
I kept schtum.
The Dog lived for another 16 years. Didn't die of cancer either...
The Cruelty? That Dog hated the Vets.

I might be really dense...But can anyone explain to me why it is OK to x-ray one's head? It just seems like it would be a bad idea to me.

You know...It's amazing you kept your face. Rhodies were bred to hunt lions. They aren't vicious, but they don't take any crap and are incredibly fearless.
