Ocean might be the cutest, sweetest nightmare on four legs that we have ever laid eyes on. Yes, this creature from the deep has the face out of a Disney movie, we know. Don’t get us wrong: you will love him. It’s hard not to. He’s a cuddly, sweet muppet-looking snuggle monster.

But he has a singular obsession that has almost gotten him killed once already and he shows no signs of letting it go: eating things that are not food. Cloth seems to be a favorite, but he’s not particular. If you leave it out, he will find it.

If you've ever had a friend that just makes bad life choices you can’t seem to stop them from, you have may have a sense of what loving this sweet anxious king will be like.

We are resorting to Hannibal Lecter levels of saving him from himself – putting a basket muzzle on him so that he won’t ingest yet another piece of cloth in that half-second window that you’re not diligently watching him. Ocean’s ideal home would probably be a sleek minimalist spot in a quiet part of the middle of nowhere, but anyone that is willing to set up management strategies to save this boy from himself, please fill out an application to adopt this goofy, sweet, sentient stuffed animal with the brain of a paper shredder.
