Here’s a treat for all you posh cat lovers fed up with the sight of cat poo in a conventional litter tray when eating your breakfast. It’s a very groovy and functional cat litter box that includes hinged doors, sliding tray for litter removal, top storage drawer, and reversible walls for left or right entry.

If you think David Beckam’s autograph is worth a few quid, think again. Try finding one of 6 known authenticated William Shakespear’s autographs.
The known magic 6 are:
• One on a conveyance for a house in London
• One on a deposition in a legal case
• One on his mortgage papers
• Three in his will
Just one of these autographs is estimated to be worth around £2.5m!
Our friends at Jouney List picked up on the story of the most expensive airfare ever. According to Singapore Airlines two lucky passengers may have to pay through eBay, a whopping $250,000 (£125,000) price tag for one of only two premium tickets.
The staggering price tag gets the lucky passengers a “beyond first” suite on the maiden commercial flight for a Singapore Airlines Airbus A380, scheduled for mid October.
Other less luxurious suites are also being auctioned for a more reasonable £10,000 ($20,000).
May the best man win!
The unusual but rather beautiful diamond skull created by Damien Hirst has been sold to a unnamed investment group for £50m ($100m)
As you might expect, the investment group intend to hold the artwork and then resell at a later date. No doubt for a considerable profit.
Interestingly, Mr Hirst will retain a small share in the piece adding to the debate about artists retaining a royalty when an artwork is resold.
The piece has received it’s fair share of criticism and controversy but personally I find it quite beautiful. Admittedly, I wouldn’t want it morbidly sitting on my mantle piece - but I can appreciate it’s unique qualities.
As we reported, the diamond encrusted skull includes a stunning pear shaped pink diamond set within the forehead and cost £14m ($28m) to put together.
Dates are due to be confirmed for a world wide tour / exhibition of the piece.

Who in their right mind would fork out £200,000 GBP to see their cats married?
A couple of crazed cat owners who felt that Phet and Ploy were obviously worth it!
It happened back in 1996 at Thailand’s largest disco where the two ‘Diamond-Eyed’ cats were dressed in ridiculous looking clothes and given to each other!
