Announcing his death, Kate wrote: "Every single part of my house feels like he should be in it. If anyone is expecting to hear from me, you may not for a bit and I’m sorry. My heart is absolutely and totally broken.
"I don’t have it in me to make a montage or even look at pictures of him yet," she ended her post, noting the little guy was alive from 2004 to 2023, making him a respectable 19-years-old when he died.
