Heartbroken Katy Perry paid a treat-filled tribute to her beloved cat after announcing she had died last night.
The singing star is inconsolable after Kitty Purry passed away this weekend.
Telling her 94 million Instagram followers the sad news, she revealed just how her favourite pet came into her life.
The pregnant 35-year-old uploaded some cute pictures before saying how much the cat will be missed.
She captioned the post: "Kitty Purry crawled through my then-boyfriend’s window 15 years ago, fully pregnant and seeking shelter.
"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.
"Big thanks to my brother David and @garethwalters for being great co-parents #kittypurryforever".
She shared an image of the pair having a chat on FaceTime - and fans were quick to pass on their sympathies.
The I Kissed A Girl songstress is soon to welcome a new family member.
Katy, who's having a daughter with fiance Orlando Bloom, wants to name her after her late grandmother Ann Pearl Hudson after she died last month.
The singer says she has lost her rock after saying goodbye.
A source told The Naughty but Nice Podcast with Rob Shuter that Katy has made her mind up.
"It was Katy's grandmother that made Katy the woman and fighter that she is today," the insider said.
"Katy believes that it is no coincidence that as her granny's soul leaves the earth, another soul arrives."
