Mental turmoil (borderline personality disorder) drives Katie Price to buy three new hairless cats

Katie Price has a long history of buying and adopting companion animals and then losing them in accidents due to careless caregiving. In general we can say that Katie Price likes to purchase and adopt companion animals despite a bad track record of losing them in accidents such as dogs being killed on the road outside her home. She continues to purchase pets including recently three new hairless cats, purebred Sphynx cats. She does this against the advice of PETA who have consistently criticised her as has the general public and news media.

I discuss her borderline personality disorder below.

PETA has criticised her before and they even launched a petition to try to ban her from owning animals. They offered a £5000 to stop buying companion animals which she refused to accept apparently.

And the founder of PETA, Ingrid Newkirk, told the Sun some time ago that they would have taken out an injunction to stop her if they could and she said that "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".

Ingrid Newkirk said that Katie Price's record is so bad that she would expect these Sphynx cats not to live that long "given the hideous track record of animal deaths in price's custody. No one could call it 'care'."

A petition has been started on the change.org website.

Associated: Katie Price should buy cuddly toys rather than adopt companion animals as too many have died in her care.

Mental health issues evident in both excessive plastic surgery and purchase of pets. And drink-driving.

There is certainly something wrong with Katie Price! The question what is it? Katie Price has been pinging between pillar and post for ages. She has been declared bankrupt I believe several times and is currently going through bankrupt proceedings. She also has car driving issues. Katie Price has been convicted of drink-driving. In September 2021, she was involved in a car crash while driving under the influence of alcohol, cocaine, and while disqualified from driving. After pleading guilty to the charges, she was sentenced to a 16-week suspended jail term, 100 hours of community service, and was banned from driving for two years.

She has been open about her numerous plastic surgeries over the years. By some reports, Price has undergone over 20 procedures throughout her career. She's had multiple breast augmentations and reductions, facelifts, liposuction, Brazilian butt lifts, and various facial fillers and Botox treatments.

Prices had at least 12 breast surgeries both enlargements and reductions. She has had facelifts, eye and brow lifts, and lip fillers, among other procedures. And regarding body modifications she has had liposuction and Brazilian butt lifts. Other mental health issues involved here? Certainly I would argue.

Katie Price has apparently been open about experiencing body dysmorphic disorder which is a mental health condition where a person is overly preoccupied with perceived flaws in their appearance even if these floors are minor or non-existent. Price's multiple plastic surgeries are attempts to regain control over her life and self image, especially when she feels overwhelmed. This is a pattern observed in people who deal with self-esteem issues where changing their appearance offers a temporary boost in mood or confidence, although it often doesn't resolve the underlying mental health challenges.

There's no question that Katie Price has mental health issues leading to excessive plastic surgery which has arguably made her far less attractive. It is highly damaging plastic surgery and it reveals her mental health challenges.

I'm sympathetic to people with mental health problems. But less so when those mental health problems lead animal abuse. Katie Price's pattern of repeatedly purchasing new pets despite numerous accidents resulting in the deaths suggest possible underlying psychological issues in addition to what I mentioned above.

The constant purchasing of pets may relate to emotional needs, trauma and self soothing behaviours. There is an overlap here because excessive plastic surgery is self soothing. I would argue that Katie Price is in mental turmoil and has been for a very long time. Her bozarre behaviours try to soothe that turmoil.

It's been suggested that the mental turmoil behind the constant purchasing of pets might include emotional attachment and need for companionship. Her pets could provide a steady source of comfort and support. When faced with relational instability, it's common to turn to animals consistent, non-judgemental companionship.

Katie Price may also suffer from impulse control and possible ADHD. She has publicly acknowledged struggling with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder which can influence impulsivity and decision making. This appears to be evident in acquiring new pets all the time. And doing this without considering long-term responsibilities and potential risks involved.

In addition losing those pets might create unresolved trauma and grief and a pattern of re-enacting grief or loss. Some experts think repeated cycles of loss might reflect a subconscious tendency to replicate unresolved trauma especially if a person lacks strategies for coping or processing grief in healthy ways.

Lastly the neglect of her pets might be linked to emotional dysregulation which can be exacerbated by conditions like depression or BPD (borderline personality disorder) although she has not publicly disclosed a BPD diagnosis. This may contribute to neglectful patterns. In this case she may be unable to consistently prioritise the need of her pets over her own stress and emotional volatility. She is struggling to maintain routines and responsibilities which could impact keeping her pets safe and caring for them properly.

Katie Price's faced criticism for numerous incidents regarding a lack of proper care of her pets suggesting a lack of attention to animal welfare. My conclusion is that she is mentally ill and needs help but unfortunately the meantime her pets suffer or are exposed to risks both life-threatening and injuries.

Is Katie Price the UK's most inept pet owner? While bankrupt she has bought another for £8,000.

Katie Price is known for her addiction to plastic surgery often in Türkiye where it is considerably cheaper but more dangerous, her bankruptcy for owing £.75 million to the tax man, for living in 'Mucky Mansion' a rambling messy home in Essex and for losing a large number of pets through traffic accidents on the road. And yet she continues to adopt them. 

Actually the better description is 'buy them' as she always buys purebreds and on this occasion she has bought a £8,000 Sphynx, the hairless cat breed which needs extra caregiving but which she is unqualified to discharge because she is such a hopeless pet caregiver than PETA offered her $5,000 to stop adopting pets and sign an agreement to that effect. She refused. And to pay £8k for a cat is madness. I think she was ripped off. They saw her coming.

Here are some details courtesy my best mate, ChatGPT:

Katie Price, a British media personality, has owned numerous pets over the years, and unfortunately, many of them have met tragic fates. Here is a summary of some of her most known pets and their causes of death:

Dogs

1. Rolo (Puppy - French Bulldog)

• Cause of Death: Suffocated under an armchair in 2020.
• Details: Rolo was gifted to Katie's daughter, Princess, for her birthday. The dog died just a few weeks later after reportedly getting trapped under a chair, causing a public controversy over her care for pets.

• Cause of Death: Run over by a delivery driver in 2018.
• Details: Queenie was tragically run over by a delivery van driver at Katie's home.

1. Sparkle (Alsatian)

• Cause of Death: Hit by a car in 2020.
• Details: Sparkle was another one of her Alsatians and died after being struck by a vehicle.

1. Bear (Chihuahua)

• Cause of Death: Ran away and got hit by a car in 2023.
• Details: Katie’s Chihuahua, Bear, reportedly ran away and was later found to have been hit by a car.

1. Sharon (Pomeranian)

• Cause of Death: Eaten by another dog in 2019.
• Details: Sharon was attacked and killed by another one of Katie’s pets.

Cats

1. Hagrid (Cat)

• Cause of Death: Hit by a car in 2018.
• Details: Hagrid was struck by a car near her home, leading to his death.

Hedgehogs

• Katie has also owned exotic pets like hedgehogs, though no specific reports of tragic deaths involving these creatures have been publicized.

Criticism and Pet Ownership Controversies

Katie Price has faced backlash and accusations of neglect following these incidents, with some animal rights groups and members of the public calling for her to be banned from owning more pets. Despite the string of accidents, Katie has continued to keep pets, and the incidents have been widely covered by the media, adding to the controversy surrounding her pet ownership.

This list may not include every pet Katie Price has owned, but it covers many of the more widely reported tragedies.

Finally, in 2022, the animal rights organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) offered Katie Price £5,000 to sign an agreement promising that she would stop adopting any more animals. This came after a series of tragic incidents involving her pets, many of which died under unfortunate circumstances. PETA voiced concerns over Katie Price’s ability to care for her pets, given the repeated accidents and deaths, and made the offer as part of their efforts to prevent further harm to animals in her care.

PETA's UK director, Elisa Allen, expressed the organization’s concerns publicly, and this offer attracted significant media attention. Katie Price did not accept the offer, and the situation fuelled ongoing controversy regarding her pet ownership.

Price is a menace to companion dogs and cats and exotic pets. She does need to be stopped. And to spend £8,000 on a cat companion when you are bankrupt should have been prevented. I think she will be criticised by a judge for that incredibly poor decision. I feel for the cat. I hope he/she survives.

Her previous Sphynx was euthanised at a relatively young age because of a neurological disorder. What was that about?!

Where does Katie Price currently live?

As of recent reports, Katie Price currently lives in her home in Horsham, West Sussex, England, which is often referred to as the "Mucky Mansion" due to its rundown state in the past. The house has gained media attention over the years because of its disrepair and various controversies. 

In 2022, Katie began renovating the property as part of a reality TV series called "Katie Price’s Mucky Mansion", which aired on Channel 4. The show followed her efforts to restore and transform the mansion into a family home, showcasing various home improvements and personal touches she made throughout the process. 

The mansion is situated in a rural area, with extensive grounds, and was originally worth millions, though it fell into disrepair before Katie's renovation efforts. Despite financial struggles and legal issues, the mansion remains her primary residence.

Katie Price's bankruptcy may shatter her pet menagerie

As of now according to a search of the internet, Katie Price is the proud owner of seven dogs. Despite facing criticism due to a history of tragic pet deaths in her care, she recently added a new member to her furry family: a Labrador puppy1. Here’s a glimpse of her current canine companions:

• Captain
• Buddy
• Colin
• Batman
• Precious (French Bulldog)
• Tank (German Shepherd)
• The newest addition: a black Labrador puppy.

In addition to her dogs, Katie also cares for horses named Wallis and Emma, as well as some guinea pigs at her stable block in her home, playfully dubbed the "Mucky Mansion"3. 🐶🐾

And Yes, Katie Price does own a cat! Despite facing criticism and controversy over her pet ownership history, she recently welcomed a new addition to her family: a hairless Sphynx cat. This unique feline companion cost her £1,20012. It seems Katie’s love for animals knows no bounds, even amidst financial challenges and public scrutiny. 🐱❤️.

It isn't the pat menagerie which will come crashing down but her whole, scary and scatty life. It is so much on the edge. It can't last. It has got to crash.

Bankruptcy

The news tells us that Katie Price has been made bankrupt for a second time. On this occasion, she owes £761,994.05p to HM RC i.e. the Inland Revenue or the tax collector. The Daily Mail says that "The huge amount is made up of unpaid tax from self-assessment on her earnings from 2020 – 2022 as well as penalties and surcharges."

And apparently she owes this money because of a failure to pay tax on the folding of her company Jordan Trading Ltd. She's been chased by creditors for a £3.2 million payment over the failure of that company.

And as mentioned she lives in a mansion-like building which is described as being mucky i.e. badly kept.

And also, Katie Price has a history of losing pets on the road outside of our home and her most recent acquisition was a hairless cat. This despite the fact that she has a bad record in looking after pets.

To have so many pets indicates a love of animals which is great but the big question is is she in a position both financially and practically to successfully look after a menagerie of pet animals as she does?

The big problem now is how is she going to pay this approximate £750,000 debt to creditors including the Inland Revenue?

HMRC has threatened to seize her home and sell it in order to pay off this debt. This is the point. This is a big home with some grounds around it allowing her to keep these pets including horses.

If the house is sold to pay off debts and she is left with quite a small amount of money (if any money at all from the proceeds of sale), she may struggle to find a property suitable for herself and her pets. It may lead to the breakup of her pet menagerie as I have described it.

Katie Price has an alleged £3.25m debt including a mortgage on her approx. £2.5m (?) house. I'd bet that if her home was sold there'd be nothing left in terms of equity release.

And if other people agree with me, there is a concern, here, for the welfare of these companion animals, I would argue.
