Katie Price has updated fans on her cat Doris’ condition after revealing she was pregnant, but had some devastating news
Katie Price took to social media to reveal her latest pet tragedy. It comes just days after the former glamour model, 47, told her Instagram followers that her pet sphynx cat was pregnant.
Now, however, she’s had to reveal that while Doris gave birth to “so many” kittens, one sadly died. The news comes after Katie was blasted by animal charities for welcoming three of the bald cats to her home in October last year.
In her recent Snapchat, the mum-of-five explained she missed a family trip to the Isle of Wight to look after the new arrivals. She admitted she was keeping regular feeding patterns and using electric blankets.

However, in the update, Katie told of the “sad news” she faced and added four emotional emojis. She explained: “An update on the kittens, one unfortunately died. That’s the one wrapped in tissue, two hours after we fed it.
“Luckily, I’m trying to help the kittens latch on to the mum; two are just about doing it, but I’m having to put them on it, because they are so premature.”
She went on: “As you can see how knackered I am, every two and a half hours through the day and through the night I’m feeding them for the mum.
“She’s a good mum, and then she keeps bringing one to the bed with her; she did that earlier. I think that was a sign to come and look in the box, as one had died.”
And Katie revealed she thinks Doris trusts the family’s actions. “So I’ve got two latching on to her now, so thats the update.”
After panning the camera around to Doris, Katie is heard cooing: “Hey Doris good girl.”
Just days earlier, Katie had told her sister Sophie on their podcast that she was “scared” of what might happen during her pet’s pregnancy. She had said: “Doris is pregnant, and I don’t know how many weeks she is but her belly has gotten bigger and bigger. I’ve noticed she’s been nesting and she keeps wanting to get on me.
“I’ve gone and bought a separate cat litter, another bed, and all of that. I’m going to set it up in my room and leave her in my room because I’ve got the other cats, and I’m scared that if she goes into labour they might eat the kittens.”
She later said: “I don’t know how many she’s going to have but I know the kids want me to keep one. And then I know what I’m like, I can’t.”
Katie had previously been criticised by Peta, with Elisa Allen of the organisation claiming the star has repeatedly ignored advice on pet care. She said: “Anyone who warns Katie not to hurt the animals she takes in might as well be screaming into the wind, for all she seems to care.”
