KATIE Price has admitted she was forced to have one of her pets put down just five months after bringing it home.
The former glamour model, 46, opened up about the difficult decision in her upcoming memoir This Is Me.
Writing about her kitten Frog, Katie said: “[He] is so naughty though, he got in the bath with me last night.
“I probably shouldn’t say that. I’m sure people will tell me off for that, won’t they, Frog?
“He’s just come to sit on my shoulder, which is one of his favourite spots.”
Katie detailed Frog’s close bond with her boyfriend JJ Slater, before continuing: “A few weeks after writing this chapter, we noticed that Frog stopped jumping on the side of the kitchen.
“Then he couldn’t jump on the sofa. Then he couldn’t jump up on the bed. There was something wrong with him so I took him to the vets.
“He had a neurological disease. There was absolutely nothing I could do. Within days it had spread through his body right to the point that he couldn’t even go to the toilet on his own. So I cuddled him in my arms and he had to be put to sleep. He was only five months old.”
Also in the memoir Katie opened up about the death of daughter Princess’ dog Rollo.
She said: “The breeder we had bought the dog from had given us CBD oil to give this dog and I don’t know if Princess had given it too much or what.
“But we knew it would sleep a lot, and that day it had gone under the reclining chair to sleep and no-one had realised and it had been crushed.”
Earlier this year a charity offered to pay Katie to stop owning pets after at least seven animals are believed to have died in her care.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) offered the TV personality £5,000 in exchange for signing a legally binding agreement promising never to acquire another animal.
This year, at just five-months-old, Katie’s cat Frog had to be put down.
In June last year Katie’s protection dog Blade was hit by a car
Just seven months before Blade’s death, another dog – Sharon – was killed on the same road.
In 2022 Katie’s Alsatian Queenie died after being hit by a delivery driver.
Two years prior to Queenie dying another Alsatian – passed away in 2020 after escaping onto the A24 and being struck by a car.
Also in 2020 Princess’ dog Rollo was killed after being squashed by an electric armchair.
