Nicolas Cage may love animals more than he loves money. The eccentric actor is said to have burned through some $150 million — blown on eccentric splurges such as a 67-million-year-old dinosaur head, a couple of islands and the first “Superman” comic — but his exotic pets are a constant. He’s cared for snakes, crows, cats, turtles, fish and at least one octopus. As revealed in the April issue of GQ, maintaining his menagerie comes with challenges and pleasures. While fussing over his Maine coon cat, Merlin, he told the magazine, “He’s so kind and so loving. Sometimes he puts his arm around me when he’s sleeping and I think it’s my wife … ”Cage once owned a two-headed snake, purchased for $80,000 after he dreamed about a two-headed eagle. But it was double trouble feeding the reptile so he donated it to the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans.
