Katie Price’s Hairless Sphynx Cat Creates Furor On Social Media

Adorable or disgusting kitten? Katie Price’s hairless Sphynx cat recently created furor on social media.

Katie has used every opportunity to highlight her unlimited love for animals. The television star even runs a farmyard of pets, and on Wednesday, she shared a snap of one of her animals that has divided public opinion — at least, going by interest reaction to the post.

Katie shared a pic of a hairless Sphynx cat, immediately sparking social media furor. Within about an hour, the post had attracted 3,000 likes, according to a report on the Daily Mail. But the comments that followed the posts were sharply divided.

While some fans thought the hairless cat — which Katie captioned in the post as a “new baby” — was a disgusting creature, others were impressed by it.

Some fans described the hairless cat as the ugliest animal they’ve ever laid eyes on. Others compared the cat with an alien, while others still went as far as asking Katie why her “new baby” is built inside out. But the amused fans offered praises and encouragement, calling the kitten “cute” and “adorable“, CelebsNow reported.

Sphynx cats are a breed of cat that lacks the typical coat of fur. Instead, their body is covered with fine hairs, revealing the skin. For those not used to seeing Sphynx cats, the sight of one can be scary at a first glance. That could be the reason Katie Price’s hairless Sphynx cat created furor on social media.

Lover of naked animals

But Katie, a 38-year-old TV personality, seems to have great affection for hairless or limited hair animals. She has shared several images of such animals, including pics where she is kissing them. Price recently purchased a nearly hairless Guinea pig and two skinny pigs, adding to her portfolio of “scantily dressed” animals.

The mother of five recently shared a photo in which she was shown kissing one of the newly acquired pigs. But her tattooed lips and eyebrows revealed in the snap distracted from the animal. However, like with the case of Katie Price’s hairless Sphynx cat creating furor on social media, the star anticipated fans’ reaction and addressed the issue of the tattoos alongside the matter of the animal. She shared several shocked emoji faces, pre-empting the reaction of her fans to the tattoo.

Row over wrong parking

But Katie’s hairless Sphynx cat post seems to be shifting the debate away from claims that she had parked her car in a disabled spot. A serious furor broke on the internet as it emerged that star’s car was left in a disabled parking space.

The parking spot controversy went viral quickly, eliciting a mixed reaction and mostly earning her rebuke. Some accused Katie of misusing her disabled son’s blue badge. The car, a pink Range Rover, was parked outside a hair salon near the star’s home in Horsham, Sussex.

But Katie has shared a video clip that debunks the media reports that she abused a disabled badge and parked her car wrongly. The clip shows that there is no disabled parking spot anywhere near the place Katie parked the car. With that, she wrote a post in which she said the papers once again got it wrong on her, the Sun reported.

Putting one matter to rest and starting a fresh one

While Katie may now put the matter of parking in a disabled bay to bed, her hairless cat will likely keep her in the headlines for some time as her fan base is divided on how to judge her “naked” kitten post. Katie’s obsession with hairless animals will continue to keep her fans talking on social media for days to come. But for Price, the attention the “naked” cat has generated could just be great for her animal support campaigns.

As to whether Katie Price’s hairless Sphynx cat creating furor on social media will convert more of her fan base into animal enthusiasts remains to be seen.
