Meowee wowee! Man allegedly puts cat in bong
Deputies say he stuffed animal into contraption to try to calm her down

By the Associated Press
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.
"What the human mind doesn't invent, huh?" Downey said.
Schomaker was cited for misdemeanor animal cruelty and paid a $400 fine. He also faces drug charges. He did not immediately respond to phone messages left Monday seeking comment.

When the suspect stopped talking and started turning blue, a local veterinarian on the scene rushed forward and administered a sharp Heimlich maneuver, causing the purrp to expel an good-sized object.
Police immediately surrounded the object, believing it to be drugs swallowed by the purrp in a desperate effort to prevent incriminating evidence from falling into the hands of authorities.
While authorities cordoned off the area with yellow police tape and put in a call to the local CSI team, the life-saving veterinarian calmly donned a pair of plastic gloves, walked over to the "evidence", lifted it up for all to see, announcing...
Yep, you guessed it...
HAIRBALL!
Shadow, the abused feline, was last seen riding prevailing winds somewhere over downtown Omaha.
they caught him smoking marijuana from a bong contraption, left, that had a cat stuffed inside.
