The pregnant pop star shared the news via her Instagram account, telling her 94 million fans the backstory to how she initially came to be the beloved moggy’s owner.
“Kitty Purry crawled through my then-boyfriend’s window 15 years ago, fully pregnant and seeking shelter,” Katy, 35 captioned a throwback snap of herself and Kitty.
Two litters and many moons later, this street cat became a loveable 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.”
She went on to thank Kitty for the “cuddles and companionship along the way,” adding a big thanks to my brother David and Gareth Walters for being “great co-parents” to Kitty.
Kitty first made an appearance during Katy’s now iconic 2009 music video to her hit ‘I Kissed a Girl’.
Earlier this month Katy revealed that she and fiancé Orlando Bloom are expecting a baby daughter.
The pop star took to social media to show off a very messy photo from her gender reveal, with the caption: “It’s a girl”.

The reveal is a dream come true for Perry who recently told concert goers in Melbourne, Australia back in March that she was hoping for a baby girl.
The 35-year-old announced she was expecting in the music video for her new song “Never Worn White”.

“Cause I’ve never worn white/But I wanna get it right/Yeah, I really wanna try with you,” the American Idol judge sings in the chorus of the tune. “No, I’ve never worn white/But I’m standin’ here tonight/Cause I really wanna say ‘I do.’”
Orlando also shares nine-year-old son, Flynn with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
