From the AP: Neb. deputies say man stuffed cat inside 'bong'

OMAHA, Neb. – A man who tried to cool out his hyper cat by stuffing her into a boxlike homemade bong faces cruelty charges — and catcalls from animal lovers. Lancaster County sheriff's deputies responding to a domestic disturbance call Sunday alleged they saw 20-year-old Acea Schomaker smoking marijuana through a piece of garden hose attached to a duct-taped, plastic glass box in which the cat had been stuffed.

"This cat was just dazed," Sgt. Andy Stebbing said. "She was on the front seat of the cop car, wrapped in a blanket, and never moved all the way to the humane society."

Schomaker told deputies 6-month-old Shadow was hyper and he was trying to calm her down. The contraption she had been stuffed inside was 12 inches by 6 inches. Shadow was timid but in good condition Monday at the Capital Humane Society, executive director Bob Downey said.


The original story including a picture of the bong in question is available here. Unfortunately, there is no picture of the cat.

That's terrible! The cruelty of that stupid man! Now, if it had been his kids in that box, well, I would have understood completely.
If it had read, "His 6-month old, Travis" then it would have made more sense.*

*in case my wife reads this - I would never do anything like that. I have no idea where to score weed anyway.

I have a picture of another stoned cat somewhere around here... Was it prep for a 1st class flight to the NW?
