Katie Price poses with new KITTEN after 24,000 people sign petition to ban her from owning animals
KATIE Price has been spotted showing off a new KITTEN – after 24,000 people signed a petition to ban her from keeping animals.
The former glamour model took to her social media to show her daughter posing with the sweet little cat – before swiftly deleting the posts hours after.
Katie, 44, showed a video of the tabby kitten as it slept on a pink and grey blanket at her home in a TikTok video yesterday.
The clip showed her youngest daughter Bunny, seven, relaxing at her Mucky Mansion before panning the camera round to the cat.
The youngster told her mum’s followers it was her new “pet” in the video, which was swiftly deleted just hours after posting.
Despite Bunny suggesting the kitten belonged to Katie, a representative of the media personality told the Sun Online said she hadn’t got a new kitten “to their knowledge”.

Over 24,000 people have signed a petition to ban Katie from keeping animals – after a puppy she bought for daughter Princess, 15, died.
The petition – which was started two years ago – gained traction after the purchase of her latest puppy – a chihuahua called Captain.
Fans expressed concern over the way Katie was holding the dog in a series of Instagram snaps with the little black puppy.
Last year The Sun revealed how the mum-of-five gave her previous pooch, called Precious, to a member of TV crew.
Precious was a gift for her eldest daughter Princess following the death of her beloved dog Rolo, who was found by Harvey’s carer after getting stuck under an armchair.

Another dog, Queenie, died in tragic circumstances in 2018, when she was struck by a delivery driver outside her home.
Katie’s Alsatian, Sparkle, was also hit by a car when it escaped her home and ran out onto the road – causing concerned animal lovers to kickstart the online petition.
“A puppy has died in the last 24 hours in Katie Price’s care, she bought this puppy for her 13-year-old child 3 weeks ago,” it read.
“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’s home.”
Animal rights group PETA has also said Katie should be stopped from owning any more pets.
PETA director, Elisa Allen, told The Sun: “Given her track record with animals, several of whom have died in her ‘care’, it would be irresponsible and reckless for Katie to be allowed to acquire another one.

“And any breeder willing to sell to her is clearly putting profit over the animals’ welfare.”
However, Katie’s rep tells The Sun: “Kate can do no right in some people’s eyes.
“Kate has always been an avid pet lover and as we’ve mentioned before Kate would welcome a conversation with PETA organisational director, Elisa Allen, but Elisa has yet to get in touch.”
