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.

When i was ten, I got a golden retrieverGreatest dog ever he is, really. I always miss him when I'm at uni.
Anyway every day when i got back from school I'd take my bike and we'd go to the park together, it was about a mile away. I'd have him on the right side but still on the lead because it was a road. Defying the laws of physics, we would go at warp speed with him sprinting on the side until we got to the park. Of course, this meant that he couldnt wee or poo and he often tried to murder me by stopping suddenly and sniffing about, something which I got quite cross about.
On one such day, we were zooming along the pavement when I hear a loud DONG, look down and it seems that we'd passed rather close to a lamppost. On my right side. And he hadn't been able to avoid it. He was sneezing for ages, obviously having smashed into it face first.
He's still great, if a little mental. I may have caused permanent damage.
