when i was 4 and my big brother was 5 we tied a shoelace around one of our cats necks and swung the kitty around over our heads singing helicopter.....
it was my brothers idea i swear!!!
dont worry... the kitty lived.... so did the other 2 cats that we had.... we did horrible stuff to them but i think swinging jake around by his neck with a slipknot was pretty bad :P
