Gah! That's bloody awful looking. Reminds me those people with too many cars parked in their yard. Being that rich you'd think they could hire a designer to make it look a little less hideous.
Cats and dogs liking earwax? Dogs will eat poo and rotten animal carcasses if given the chance... so it's not surprising (cats likley do as well they're just more secretive about - they have a reputation to uphold).
