Poor Frances Bean Cobain just hasn't had a whole lot of luck with her pets. A few of her pets died while she was living with her mom Courtney Love, which she blamed it on her mom's pills and clutter. But now that the only daughter of Courtney and Kurt is all grown up and has her own lovely new Hollywood home, her cat Zero has gone missing.
Now Cobain is taking to Twitter and offering $5,000 if someone can find her black cat somewhere near the Hollywood Hills where she lives. So far it has been missing for five days:
Even worse, it's her favorite cat:
She's had a few false alarms about people claiming to have found it:
@alka_seltzer hangs out in bushes on nw corner. Talked a lady who knew the cat and owner. Sorry it wasn't it. Thought I found her for second

For those who are interested in helping her find the cat (or earning $5,000), it's a skinny black cat with a white chest. Its name is Zero, and she says there is a number for you to call on the tag if you find it. We're just glad Cobain doesn't live in Studio City, where (at least) one cranky old-timer enjoys tearing down lost kitty posters.
