KATIE Price cuddled up with her designer cat as fans called for her to be banned from owning pets.
Back in January, the former glamour model got her £1.2k new fury friend, just months after rescuing a black Labrador puppy.
But shortly after getting her new cat, she gave away her puppy Tank because the pooch “doesn’t look cute on Instagram” anymore.
In the new snap Katie closed her eyes as she held her sphynx cat tight in her arms.
Katie shared the picture with her 2.6m followers on Instagram.
She captioned the post: “Cuddles ❤️.”
But some shared their worry in the comments section with one writing: “I thought she was banned from owning animals.”
Another wrote: “Please look after this one and don’t let it die xxx.”
Over the years Katie has owned a number of animals – and many have ended up dying in her care.
Peta’s proposition
Earlier this month animal, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), offered her £5,000 in exchange for signing a legally binding agreement that means she won’t own another animal.
The letter said: “While your intentions may be good, the ever-growing number of animals who have either died under your supervision or been given away is impossible to ignore, and people are rightly concerned.”
The PETA vice president Elisa Allen added: “Whatever you may offer as reasons for their suffering, relinquishment, or demise, the fact is that you are consistently harming these sensitive, sentient individuals, and I hope you agree that this is a solution.”
The letter added that her acceptance would be applauded by fans and send a strong message about the important of animal welfare.
That’s not the only organisation that’s tried to stop Katie owning animals.
Petition to stop her owning animals
A petition was started on a website called change.org.
It has called on charities RSPCA and PETA to stop the reality star from owning any more pets – and currently over 36,000 people have signed it.
The description of the four-year-old petition reads: “In the last 5 years more animals have died from lack of care. Horses. dogs.cats lizards hedgehogs. This isn’t a single family tragedy.
“It’s a common thing in Katie price home. 2 dogs have been ran over … A horse was run over on a motorway. Animals just go missing in her home never to been seen again.
“She jokes about her mucky mansion. But it ain’t a joke that animals are dying from her lack of care.”
