The cat statues probably don't actually have hearts hidden on them...

...they just tell you they do, so you spend several minutes staring at a cat statue at indecent angles in broad daylight.

    Ugh. Supposedly someone asked the artist where the heart is. I don't even care anymore.

    For those not in on the joke, the downtown in which I work is having this fundraiser wherein local artists were given molded cat sculptures to decorate. The sculptures were then put on display in various shops. The indolent rich are invited to bid on these cats, to raise money for the town's art commission. I'm really tired of making conversation about the damn cats.

    Is the cat still there? Maybe I'll snap a pic for all to see! It'll be pic-snap-tacular!

    Ugh. Yeah, the $400 cat is there. Take a closeup so that you can see Leo and Leona in its eyes.

    couldn't they at least have used cows? cats are so cliche.

    The town is called Los Gatos (for those who don't speak Spanish: "The Cats"), so cows would have made less sense here than, say, Vacaville, CA.

    They could have used catamarans.

    Are all cat sculptures the same? Is there a flowery cat sculpture?

    How have I missed said cats? I am so going to find them tonight since I'm going into LG anyway.

    Actually, when it comes to variably-painted charity animal sculptures, cows are the only existing cliche.

    Are you sure people aren't paying $400+ to have them safely disposed of?

    Like in an underground bunker or something.

    I don't think any bunker could contain that, no matter how deep it was.

    Maybe they'll put it in a bunker then nuke them.

    Two or three times.

    Yes, but it's likely that the first detonation will take a few lives, depending on how quickly the cats revive, due to the extremely high levels of radiation.

    Today I discovered two new bids on the cat. The first brought the cat up to $450. The second bid was ostensibly for 50 cents, though it was written (cent sign) 0.50, which would make it half a cent if we take it at face value. The halfpenny bidder also wrote something along the lines of 'are you serious??' next to the $450 bid. My coworker now thinks less of me because I thought that was funny.

    I'd buy it because I'm sure those eyes have mystical powers of some sort. They'll shoot lasers or let me see into the future or something.
