“Every part of my house feels like it should be there,” she captioned a selfie of herself cradling her adorable cat in her arms, who wore a pink pig-print onesie. “If anyone expects to hear from me, maybe not for a while and I’m sorry.”

“My heart is absolutely and totally broken,” she concluded.

Her famous friends rushed to comfort her in the comments section, including Anya Taylor-Joy and Seth Rogen.

‘Kate [red heart broken emoji] sending you love,” the The Queen’s Gambit star, 27, wrote under her boyfriend’s post, which has garnered 72,654 likes in less than an hour.

While she has not revealed Clive’s cause of death, she rather said he was “quite old” and was 15 or 16.

“We then got him my daughter [Lily Sheen, now 20] was small,” she said People in 2019. “And he’s usually shaved in an odd shape, but he’s a recent cancer survivor.”

Speaking about Clive’s personality to the outlet, the mother of one raved that his “favorite things in the world are suitcases and boxes and bags.”

“If you bring home a pair of sneakers or bring home a bag, it’s right in,” she gushed. “So we bought him this trunk bed, and he loves it so much.”

Beckinsale also stated that she prefers cats because they are “easier” to care for than dogs.

“You don’t have to walk around with a bag of poop like you do a dog, which I hate walking around with a bag of poop,” she mused.

Clive’s lavish life has been extensively documented on the artist’s social media, which is filled with photos of him dressed in hilarious costumes, traveling in private jets and staying by her side through thick and thin.

“Every part of my house feels like it should be there,” she captioned a selfie of herself cradling her adorable cat, who wore a pink pig-print onesie.

In many of her posts, with Clive, he could be seen wearing pink nail polish, funny hats, posing with props or even in coordinating looks with Beckinsale.

In 2021, she discussed dressing up her two cats during quarantine while performing on Live with Kelly and Ryan.

“There are a few cats, but one of them likes to dress up more than the other, so he’s a little more common,” she said, referring to Clive.

She joked, “That’s what happened to me during the pandemic… that’s what took its toll.”
