Police say man stuffed cat inside bong

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.

Police in Nebraska responded to a domestic disturbance when they allegedly 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," Lancaster Policeman 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 police the six-month-old cat, Shadow, was hyperactive and he was trying to calm her down.

The contraption she had been stuffed inside was 30cm by 15cm.

Capital Humane Society executive director, Bob Downey, said Shadow was timid but in good condition.

"What the human mind doesn't invent, huh?" Downey questioned.

Schomaker, who was released from jail after paying a $400 fine on the arrest warrant, faces drug and misdemeanor animal cruelty charges.
