Now, this is terrible.

Two high school students from South Portland, Maine decided it would be a great idea to heat up a cat.

In the microwave. Like a real, live kitten.

Not only did they put the animal in the microwave, they implicated themselves in the crime by posting the stupid and cruel video on Vine. Now they are being hit with animal cruelty charges, and rightfully so.

The cat’s owners have since turned her over to South Portland’s Animal Control Officer, and she is now in the care of the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland. “The vet will do a complete checkup, but she’s eating normally, seems to be in fine shape,” ARLGP rep Lynne McGee told WGME. Nicknamed “Miracle,” the 8-week-old kitten will soon be up for adoption.

And as for the two 15-year-old girls, they are due in court in November.
