Area Schomaker of Lincoln said he never intended to hurt the 6-month-old cat, Shadow.
Sheriff's deputies responding to a domestic disturbance at the residence fined the 20-year-old Schomaker on suspicion of misdemeanour animal cruelty on Sunday after catching him smoking marijuana from a boxlike contraption that had the cat stuffed inside its 12-inch by 6-inch base.
Schomaker's girlfriend, Marissa Vieux, also was fined for animal cruelty because she didn't try to stop Schomaker, Sgt Andy Stebbing said.
Vieux, 22, said she took in the cat about two months ago from friends who abused it.
Schomaker said the cat would bite and scratch them but he did nt want to discipline it by swatting or squirting water at it. He said they did not bring it to an animal shelter because they feared it would be put down.
So Schomaker said he decided to use the makeshift pipe because he had heard about people calming their pets by blowing marijuana smoke in their faces.
"I know for sure this isn't the first time someone has done this," he said. "I'm just the first one to get caught."
He said he put the cat in the bong a total of three times and it seemed to calm the cat.

Cat ping!
So lets stuff this guy inside a nuclear reactor and see if it mellows him out.
He’s dense enough to retard the reaction.
He's never been around pot. ;-)
Somebody should call the SPCA and have this kitten taken away from this !@#$%^&.
I would do it, but I live in NJ.
That’s histerical. Wasn’t there a South Park episode on cat spray huffing?
