I suppose it might have been tolerable if it was a wild cat -- like a lion or something -- and puffing deadly smoke in the feline's face was necessary to prevent a good mauling. But this was a house cat for crying out loud!Cops in Boulder, Colorado have busted 21-year-old Danielle Blankenship (mugshot above) for allegedly blowing heroin smoke right in the mush of "Muffin" the neighbor's cat, which has since keeled over. Dead. Expired. Gonersville. Up in smoke.
Cops first showed up at the apartment of this broad's boyfriend on a domestic violence call. Boyfriend says that Blankenship started off one day earlier this week by busting him one right in the chops after he wouldn't let her use his cell phone.
While there to investigate that situation, the cops noticed little Muffin lying on the apartment building's steps highly "lethargic" and "unresponsive" to the touch. "It could not seem to get up," said cop Gregory Perry.
That's when boyfriend told cops that his lovely old lady had puffed a big bowl of wrong right in the kisser of the cat. But Blankenship says the opposite, telling cops she didn't blow any heroin smoke at little Muffin. Oh, how purrr-fect!
Cops whisked the little furry friend off to the vet, where intravenous treatment got Muffin to "rally" for a short while before the cat reportedly "crashed" and bit the bucket (or kicked the bullet, or whatever -- Muffin's dead).
An animal autopsy will be performed on the pussy to determine cause of death. Meantime Blankenship got thrown in the can on charges of animal cruelty (the cat) and assault and domestic violence (the boyfriend).
And if it's found to have been a heroin overdose that made little Muffin go down, then Blankenship could face felony charges -- meaning the only smokes she may be puffing on for awhile will be the tobacco variety down at the hoosegow. But serves her right for Ruffin' a Muffin (allegedly).
