Katie Price has once again risked the wrath of her disapproving fans after sharing pictures of her latest animals. The former glamour model, 47, took to Instagram on Monday to share a glimpse at her new Sphynx cats which she calls her ‘babies’.

The mum-of-five posted a picture of four cats and alongside it wrote: “My bald babies” – referring to the fact that Sphynx cats famously don’t have any hair.

The former model has never shied away from sharing her love of animals and has had dozens of pets in recent years. In 2020, a petition was made to put a ban in place to stop her from owning animals. The petition launched on change.org has since had over 37,000 signatures following some heartbreaking revelations about Katie’s pets.

Her beloved German Shepherd dog was killed on the A24 close to her home, seven months after another of her dogs was killed on the same road. Her horse was also killed on the same road after breaking free from Katie’s fields. In 2020, her French Bulldog puppy Rolo suffocated after becoming trapped under a chair.

A spokesman for JRC Bullies – who “gifted” to dog to the Loose Women star – stated to the Mirror at the time: “We are heartbroken that this has happened as we told Katie not to leave a small puppy on its own. We can’t believe that the puppy was left unattended as we had left strict instructions.”

In the petition, the writer states: “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. Which was killed in a accident no one witnessed.”

They allege: “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.

“2 dogs have been ran over. Puppies were found dead drowning in a neglected swimming pool. A horse was run over on a motorway. Animals just go missing in her home never to been seen again.”

While the petition calls on PETA for help, the animal rights charity has already addressed Katie’s care of her animals – and last year even offered to give her £5000 cash if she signs a legal agreement promising not to buy another pet.

Reports indicate that at least eight of Katie’s animals have passed away under her care in a variety of different ways, including five dogs, a horse, and a chameleon.
