Katy Perry is mourning the loss of her beloved feline companion Kitty Purry.
The pop star shared news of the cat’s death on Friday in an Instagram post on Sunday morning along with several photos.
“Kitty Purry crawled through my then-boyfriend’s window 15 years ago, fully pregnant and seeking shelter,” Perry recalled. “Two litters and many moons later, this street cat became a lovable mascot to many.
"Sadly, Kitty completed her 9th life last night. I hope she rests in salmon fillets and tuna tartare way up in catnip heaven. Kitty, thanks for the cuddles and companionship along the way.”
Perry gave a shout out to her brother David Hudson and Gareth Walters “for being great co-parents.”
Walters took to Instagram to share a series of pics of Kitty Purry. “Kitty had an unbelievable life, and was nothing but love throughout. I’m incredibly lucky to have had her in my life these past few years," he wrote. "She had character and heart like no other animal I knew. I’m already missing the simple pleasures of her jumping into my lap, her constant purring, and her frequent disobedience to any rule I attempted to make for her. I know she will be deeply missed by anyone who had the pleasure of meeting her.
“I’ll never forget how much love and joy you brought to me. I love and very much miss you, Kitty.”
A little more than a month ago, Perry lost her grandmother Ann Hudson, who was 99.
The 35-year-old singer is pregnant with her first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom.
