Katie Price offered fans an update on her cat’s pregnancy and admits she’s “scared” of what might happen. The former glamour model, 47, shared news of pet Doris’ pregnancy on her podcast alongside sister Sophie.

The update came just weeks after the mum-of-five was scolded by PETA for her treatment of one of her pets. She was accused of “sunburning” one of her Sphynx cats, Kevin. And she has been branded a “serial killer” by the charity over the deaths of at least eight of her animals.

But in her latest offering, Katie explained: “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 brought 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 added: “I’m setting her up a nice little corner in my bedroom with her own cat litter, her own little bed and I’ll feed her separate and I’ll let her chill in here so she can nest in here. So then if she does go into labour, I can hear it and help her and just be there for support.

“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.”

It comes after Peta’s Elisa Allen claimed the former model 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.”

And speaking about the alleged cat sunburn, Elisa went on: “And here we go again: her cat is sunburnt – something she was likely warned about when acquiring a gimmick cat, bred to look odd and be hairless.”

Peta revealed cats with “light or no fur can burn easily, which is just one reason to keep them indoors.” They added: “If they do go into a secure garden, apply vet-approved sunscreen and ensure they have plenty of shade. Cat guardians must stay alert, if you spot redness, swelling, or signs of infection, seek veterinary care immediately.”

Katie had claimed her cat had “been in the sun” in a recent social media upload. Stroking the cat in the clip, she said: “Oh Kevin you have been in the sun today, you have got sun burnt despite us putting sun cream on you… look at his little face.”

The caption accompanying the video said: “Trying to keep the cats out of the sun is hard work.”

Peta had previously called for an injunction in a bid to stop Katie from having animals. It also offered the star £5,000 to never acquire more animals, following multiple tragic deaths.
