Cat Bong - Construction and Use

(Lancaster County, Nebraska) To create your own personal cat bong, obtain parts and materials and follow the instructions.

1) Approximately 3 sq. ft. of plexiglass,
2) Duct tape
3) Section of garden hose 18 inches in length
4) Small smoking bowl
5) Kitten - approximately 6 weeks old

Instructions: Cut plexiglass into 6 pieces to create a box approximately 6" x 12" x 6". Duct tape the pieces together to create a box, leaving the top aside. Create two holes in box top and tape garden hose section to one and smoking bowl to the other. Insert kitten into box and duct tape the top to create a closed space. Put smoking material in bowl, place lips on garden hose, and suck while holding flame over smoking material.

The device was designed by 20-year-old Acea Schomaker who, by the way, was arrested and booked into the Lancaster County Jail after being seen bonging the kitten by sheriff's deputies responding to an unrelated domestic disturbance.

Although he said he did it because he wanted to calm the kitten down, Schomaker faces charges of animal cruelty, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Thus far, Schomaker has been fined $400 on the animal cruelty charge but it may be elevated to a felony offense if the cat dies. The kitten, named Shadow, is being examined at an animal clinic in Omaha to determine if it suffered lung damage.
