It’s no secret that Grammy-nominated pop star Katy Perry has an extensive history of loving cats. She’s always had that “Josie And The Pussycats” vibe, and in 2010, she even released a cat-themed perfume line called “Purr”, which offers a variety of scents and comes in a purple, cat-shaped bottle (obviously!) To date, she has one precious feline baby named Kitty Purry. It is said that, while on tour, Katy Perry missed her beloved cat so much that she requested her management to bring her a “stand-in” cat to keep her company until she got home to her number one man. We know the feels, Katy.

Prior to the filming of the 2004 movie Catwoman, Halle Berry considered herself a dog person, but all of that changed when she met her costar, Play-Doh. “I used to be a dog person. I had dogs my whole life. And in making this movie, I learned to really respect and love cats from the research and work I did with them,” she states. After the filming was completed, she was so enamored with Play-Doh that she ended up adopting him! A happy ending after all.

Pop star Kesha is not only a cat-lover, but an activist as well. In 2013 she won the distinguished Wyler award for animal rights activism after penning an open letter encouraging a ban on animal testing in the cosmetic industry. She has also been very vocal about her disapproval of Canadian seal clubbing as well. Heck yeah, Kesha! Additionally, she has recently described starting a “Cat Cult” for people who love – and want t0 be – cats. Intrigued? Careful though; part of the “hazing” for initiation into the cat cult involves eating glitter mixed with… kitty litter? Yeah, please don’t do that, friends. Muy no bueno for your digestive system. Her precious kitty is a stunning Siamese baby named Mr. Peep$, and you can keep up to date with his adventures on his twitter page. If you wanna catch this handsome boy in action, I’ve got ya covered: in 2013, this sweet man made his acting debut in Kesha’s “Crazy Kids” music video!
