An adorable kitten needs a good home. Doesn’t eat, sleep, or do much besides stand in place and stare at you in a creepy, Tim Burton-esque pose. And yet, what a pose! Asking price, $12 million or so. At least that’s how much Sotheby’s hoped to rake in for this well-known sculpture by Giacometti recently. Actually, they aspired for $20 million and $12 million was the least they’d take. Come on, people. He made this sculpture in fond memory of his brother’s charismatic feline. Have you no hearts? All right. I’m officially taking up donations to buy the sculpture. If every US citizen gave me one dollar we’d snatch it easy. I promise, I’ll take really really good care of it.

Oh, and a Picasso orphan needs a home. That one didn’t sell, either. Frankly, though, I’m not ready for kids. First, a plant. Then you move up to a small pet. Then the kids. I’m definitely on the brink of the small pet phase.
