Katie Price has sparked outrage among fans after splashing out £4,000 on two designer cats, pushing her total collection of hairless sphynx cats up to five.
Despite a stormy past with pet care that’s drawn plenty of backlash, the 46-year-old ex-glamour model has openly shared her love for her new feline pals.
In a TikTok Live, Katie was all over her Sphynx kittens as she showed them off to her followers, gushing: “Can you see him? What are you all doing? Hey, what are you all doing down there? Hey, are you playing? Are you perming? They look so cute,” according to the footage.

While chatting away off-camera, she acknowledged the imminent fan frenzy over her latest buys and cheekily retorted: “Oh, Tony. I know, I’m gonna sit down and you’re all gonna come on me. I know. I love it.”

The former I’m A Celeb star, who previously faced bankruptcy, is also mum to Dobby and Hagrid, and only last September, she posted about snagging another sphynx named Daisy.
In a twist from 2017, The Sun reported that Katie attempted to sell Dobby and Hagrid for £1,300 because they weren’t getting along with her pooches—though judging by their appearances in her latest pics, it seems the celebrity couldn’t part ways with her unique pets.

Earlier this year, Katie Price opened up about the heartbreaking decision to put down her sphynx cat Frog due to a “neurological disease” that crippled its movements. In her memoir ‘This Is Me’, Katie reminisced: “There was absolutely nothing I could do. Within days it had spread through his body right to the point that he couldn’t even go to the toilet on his own. So I cuddled him in my arms and he had to be put to sleep. He was only five months old,” reports the Mirror.
The TV personality has been under fire after it was revealed that seven of her pets met untimely deaths within six years, sparking PETA to offer her £5,000 to sign a contract barring her from pet ownership.

Meanwhile, campaigns for a lifetime pet ownership ban against her are gaining momentum. Furious at the fatalities, PETA’s head, Ingrid Newkirk, told The Sun: “If there was a way to file an injunction to stop this serial animal killer, PETA would do so.”
She added, insisting on their standing offer: “PETA’s financial offer – of £5,000 if she agrees never to acquire any more animals – still stands, and we implore her to take us up on it.”
