An American man who stuffed his girlfriend's cat into his marijuana pipe said he did it to calm the cat and the technique had worked for him before.
Unemployed Nebraska man Acea Schomaker said he never intended to hurt the cat called Shadow, the Associated Press reported.
He said he could not think of another way to discipline the pesky feline as he didn't want to hit it or take it to an animal shelter for fear it would be euthanised.
Schomaker, 20, admitted to putting the cat in the make-shift pipe three times in the past week and it had seemed stoned afterwards.
He was cited on suspicion of animal cruelty after authorities caught him smoking marijuana through a hose attached to a 30cmx15cm plastic box containing the kitten.
Police discovered Schomaker's attempted feline freakout after responding to a domestic disturbance call at the home he shares with his grandfather.
As well as being cited for misdemeanour animal cruelty and having to pay a US$400 fine, Scholmaker also faces charges for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. He may face more severe animal cruelty charges if the cat dies or is found to have suffered permanent damage.
Shadow has since been taken off the couple.
He and his girlfriend were both fined for animal cruelty.

Poor Cat, but then what about the smoker? He'd be coughing up fur balls for days after that session! 
"if the cat dies or is found to have suffered permanent damage."

Well if you need more proof that smoking weed makes you stupid then read on....
A man so muddled by years of marijuana dependency believed he was married to his former flatmate for nearly a decade - a mistake that threatened to derail his wedding to a new partner.
The man, 38, planned to marry this month but was unable to find the papers to prove to the marriage celebrant he was not still married to his previous partner, which she required because he had listed his marital status as "divorced".
The births, deaths and marriages registry was placed on notice that a marriage might have occurred and the celebrant needed to provide proof of his single status before she could perform the ceremony.
Enter the Family Law Court in Sydney. It heard that the man and his flatmate met through their mothers and lived together for 10 years from 1994. Their relationship was not sexual and was based largely on convenience, mutual support and friendship.
The man could not remember a wedding ceremony taking place but always believed they had been married. He told the court the details must have slipped his mind because he was stoned at the time. Indeed he had no "meaningful recollection" of significant portions of the relationship.
The pair fought a lot and in 2003 the flatmate gave him a document to sign, which he believed was their divorce papers.
It was not until he contacted his former flatmate for proof of their divorce that she told him it was a residential tenancy agreement.
The man and his new bride are now free to be married.
