LINCOLN, Neb. -- A kitten is recovering after allegedly being stuffed in a bong while its owner smoked marijuana at the same time.

Lincoln investigators said that 20-year-old Acea Schomaker is accused of animal cruelty for the act.

The kitten -- 6-month-old Shadow -- is being treated at a Lincoln animal shelter.

Deputies said they witnessed the animal being trapped inside the homemade bong as it was being smoked.

“I have never seen anything like this before,” Lancaster County Chief Deputy Bill Jarrett said.

The bong is made of Plexiglas and is about the size of shoebox.

“[It was] taped shut so the cat was exposed to large amounts of marijuana smoke,” Jarrett said.

Schomaker was wanted on a warrant for possession of marijuana. Deputies found him in his home south of Lincoln.

They said he was smoking the bong when they arrived.

Shoemaker allegedly told deputies the kitten was high strung and needed to be put in the bong to keep it calm.

“The cat appeared to be very lethargic, somewhat in a sleeping state,” Jarrett said.

Capital Humane Society officials said they have taken X-rays and done other tests to see if the kitten has any long-term affects from the alleged abuse.

“The individual stated he had done this several times,” agent Bob Downey said.

The shelter workers said they are working with the sheriff's office and the county attorney to get custody of the animal so it can be put up for adoption.

“We'll find a home where it will not be subjected to this type of treatment anymore,” Downey said.

Schomaker was cited for misdemeanor animal cruelty.

That charge could be upgraded to a felony if the kitten dies or has long-term effects from the alleged abuse.

A misdemeanor conviction could mean up to a year in jail time, a felony conviction would put Schomaker away for up to five years.

Would have been better if he rolled the kitten in a joint and smoked it

[Kerberoz]

Watch them blame it on the drugs

[Maxxthepenguin]

So does smoking a cat?

[gairaiden]

if your gonna get a animal that baked at least use a dog. most dogs love weed. look at the Friday movies and half baked. dogs love weed its a proven fact ^^.

on a more serious note who the fuck sticks a kitten in a bong. The weed may have made it seem like a great idea but after that idiot is off the weed a few days he'll probably think wtf i smoked my cat.

Ummm, no? Try not being a fucking dumbass and you most likely won't go to jail. Not too complicated.

Never understood what makes people feel so special picking on defenseless animals and even other people. Hope he gets the shit beat out of him.

[altwight]

irrational for givin someone what they deserve?

[EckoGecko]

All this guy did was get his cat high.

just sounds stupid to go to jail for five years for killing a cat. maybe i'm just not to passionate about animals.

I would understand if he tortured it, and ment to kill it. fuck that.
But from what I understand from this situation is he was just hot boxing his cat within his bong.

[Seraphise]

Meh people get there animals high all the time, this guy just had a contraption that could do it. It wasn't like the animal was harmed other then the possible effects on its lungs. It was in a shoebox surrounded by smoke. Thats all.

[Correction]

Maybe what you're passionate or not passionate about has nothing to do with the established law, and that's why he could go away for five years.
