'Cocaine cat' escaped owner, will now live at Cincinnati Zoo

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

An African serval cat that was found with cocaine in its system after an escape at a traffic stop now calls the Cincinnati Zoo home, much to the delight of social media users still amused by the recent release of the movie “Cocaine Bear.”

The wild cat’s story has trended online, where users relished in the absurdity of the horror comedy, which riffs off the true story of a 175-pound black bear that was found dead near a duffle bag and some $2 million worth of cocaine. Social media users have predictably dubbed the serval “cocaine cat.”

The slender feline made its escape after its owner was pulled over by police on Jan. 28, according to local animal control officials. It leapt from the car into a tree.

Once Amiry was taken in for medical care by Cincinnati Animal CARE, the team ran a drug test in which they determined that Amiry had cocaine in his system.

How fucking cruel is that?

1. I would say the owner was himself so coke'd up,

He didn't care how fucking cruel it was. Probably not the first time, and surprising the poor animal was still alive.

2. I was lucky enough to see (but not photograph) a beautiful serval while on an

African safari.

3. Good. They had no fucking business keeping a Serval cat in the first place.

Let alone exposing it to cocaine. I hope the now former-owner rots in jail for a long time.
