KATIE Price has come under fire from fans after they spotted a ‘dangerous’ detail in a new snap of the star with her cats.
The former I’m A Celebrity star revealed that she got more pets when she shared a picture of her three designer sphynx cats in October last year.

In a now deleted post on Instagram, the Celebrity Big Brother winner shared a new snap of herself hugging newborn sphynx kittens.
However, viewers flooded the comments section as they noticed that the collars around their necks were far too tight.
One fan wrote: “Those things round their necks look a bit tight!
A second noted: “You’re supposed to be able to get at least two fingers under a collar!”
“Take those collars off,” raged a third user, while a fourth exclaimed: “Those collars are far too tight! And plastic!”
But the comments just kept on coming as social media users begged the former Eurovision hopeful to take action.
Someone else sarcastically remarked: “Alive and thriving, the collars round their neck look too tight.”
And a fifth commented: “Them collars need to come off! Way too hard and thick.”
And an additional user added: “What are those around their necks, [it] looks really uncomfortable.”
Back in May, an animal charity previously hit out at the My Mucky Mansion personality for sharing a Snapchat video of her dogs hanging out of the window.
In a statement, a PETA spokesperson exclusively told The Sun: “While it’s wonderful for dogs to enjoy the great outdoors and lovely when guardians include them on suitable outings, it can be damned dangerous to have the car window lowered enough for them to jump or fall out.
“A sudden stop, sharp turn, or tempting distraction can quickly turn a fun trip into a tragedy.”
In 2024, Katie told how she was forced to put down her last designer cat, Frog, after he fell ill.
Charity People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) insists there needs to be an injunction stopping the mum-of-five from owning pets after she had seven pets die in just six years.
Katie Price’s love life
We take a look back at the highs and lows of Katie Price’s relationship history.
1996-1998: Katie got engaged to Gladiators star Warren Furman – aka Ace – with a £3,000 ring. But their relationship didn’t make it as far as ‘I do’.
1998-2000: Katie described Dane Bowers as ‘the love of her life’ but she broke up with the singer when he allegedly cheated on her.
2001: Footballer Dwight Yorke is the father of Katie’s eldest child Harvey. He has had very little to do with Harvey throughout his life.
2002: Rebounding from Dwight, Katie famously had one night of passion with Pop Idol star Gareth Gates, allegedly taking his virginity.
2002-2004: Katie was dating Scott Sullivan when she entered the jungle for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!. He threatened to “punch Peter’s lights out” when chemistry blossomed between her and Peter Andre.
2004-2009: The jungle romance resulted in Katie marrying Aussie pop star Peter. They had two kids, Junior and Princess, before their bitter split in 2009.
2010-2011: Fresh from her break-up with Peter, Katie enjoyed a whirlwind relationship and marriage with cage fighter Alex Reid. They split 20 months after their Las Vegas wedding.
2011: Katie briefly dated model Danny Cipriani… but it ended as quickly as it begun.
2011-2012: They didn’t speak the same language, but Katie got engaged to Argentinian model Leandro Penna in 2011. He later fled home to South America.
2012-2018: Wedding bells rang once more after Katie met Kieran Hayler in 2013. They had two kids together, Jett and Bunny, before their break-up and divorce.
2018-2019: Katie moved on quickly with Kris Boyson. They had an on-off romance for one year and even got engaged. They split for good in 2019.
2019: Katie was linked to Charles Drury during her on-off relationship with Kris. Charles, who also dated Lauren Goodger, has always denied being in “official relationship” with her.
2020-2023: Car salesman Carl Woods took a shining to Katie in 2020. Their relationship was up and down for three years. They broke up for a final time last year.
2024-present: After weeks of rumours, Katie confirmed her relationship with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater in February this year.
Founder Ingrid Newkirk previously told The Sun: “If there was a way to file an injunction to stop this serial animal killer, PETA would do so, as this woman doesn’t care about the lives she wastes or listen to vital advice and is still treating live animals like stuffed toys: as disposable.
“If William Hill took totally tasteless bets, the odds would favour those betting on how little time this kitten has on Earth, given the hideous track record of animal deaths in Price’s custody. No one could call it ‘care’.”
The charity even offered Katie £5,000 to stop buying pets and just last month, Katie told her followers there had been another pet death when one of the cats gave birth.
She shared: “An update on the kittens, one unfortunately died.
Given the hideous track record of animal deaths in Price’s custody. No one could call it ‘care’.”

“Luckily I’m trying to help the kittens latch on to the mum, two are just about doing it but I’m having to put them on it, because they are so premature.
“As you can see how knackered I am, every two and a half hours through the day and through the night I’m feeding them for the mum.
“She’s a good mum, and then she keeps bringing one to the bed with her, she did that earlier, I think that was a sign to come and look in the box as one had died.”
At the time of first reporting, The Sun approached a representative of Katie for comment.
