Kylie Jenner has fans up in arms after posting a photo of her pet cat, with many accusing her of using the feline as nothing more than a trendy accessory.
The reality star, who’s been on fire lately with her steamy bikini snaps, hit a major speed bump on Saturday when she shared the controversial post that quickly sparked backlash.
In a series of casual photos, Jenner showed off her white and grey cat, including one where she cradles it like a baby in her hoodie.
Another snap features a close-up of Kylie holding the cat, with her diamond-encrusted nails almost stealing the spotlight from the cat’s blinged-out leash.
While fans were quick to speculate about the cost of the leash, it was the suggestion that Kylie was turning her pet into an accessory that really rubbed people the wrong way – especially given her history of owning over eight dogs, none of which have appeared on her feed in recent months.
The backlash began when one follower posted the photos with the caption: ‘Genuine question: Where are her dogs??? Is this cat just what fits her aesthetic this year? I wonder when she’ll get bored and move on to something else.’

The comment section exploded in outrage, with fans flooding in to voice their disapproval.
One follower shot back, ‘I feel awful for her new cat-accessory that’s just going to be used as an Instagram prop instead of treated like a living creature.’
Another was less forgiving, bluntly saying, ‘Using the cat like a f****** accessory.’
But it didn’t stop there.
One commenter took a deeper dive into the type of cat Kylie chose, posting, ‘Scottish Folds are born deformed and shouldn’t be glamorized – these cats suffer with pain.’
They added, ‘Also, it’s interesting how her dogs are never around anymore and nobody ever sees them.’
And the sympathy didn’t end. One follower even wrote, ‘Praying for this poor pretty kitty someone please rescue her and give her to a responsible person.’
The controversial post comes after Jenner shared racy promotional images for her latest Kylie Cosmetics launch, going braless in a daring low-cut white mini dress.

Away from her beachside snaps, Jenner has also been making moves in the property market, recently putting her lavish Hidden Hills mansion on the market for a cool $20.25 million.
The cosmetics mogul has tapped real estate trio Josh and Matt Altman, along with Heather Altman — known for their appearances on Million Dollar Listing — to handle the high-profile sale.
Set on roughly 1.4 acres, the sleek modern farmhouse spans more than 13,000 square feet and boasts a resort-style backyard complete with a pool, spa, fire pit and fully equipped outdoor kitchen.
Inside, the expansive home features eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms, along with a host of luxury amenities designed for both relaxation and entertaining.
Among its standout features are a private cinema, a games room with a built-in bar, a spacious office with a fireplace, as well as a gym and dedicated massage room.
Jenner originally purchased the property in 2016 for just over $12 million, when she was still in her teens, and has since transformed it into a family-friendly retreat.
The estate also includes a separate guest suite with its own entrance, complete with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and cosy living space.
Meanwhile, Jenner and Chalamet’s Hollywood romance has been one of the most talked‑about celebrity pairings since they first sparked dating rumours in April 2023, not long after Jenner’s high‑profile split from Travis Scott.

The duo went public later that year, making a splash with a loved‑up appearance at Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour stop in Los Angeles, where their PDA fuelled headlines and confirmed the buzz.
Over the past few years the pair have played coy about their relationship, often keeping their outings low‑key while supporters and sceptics alike watched every move.
Chalamet even kept mum about his personal life – telling Vogue he had ‘nothing to say’ when asked directly about Jenner.
Still, the couple’s bond was on full display during awards season.
At the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, Chalamet not only won Best Actor for Marty Supreme but openly thanked Jenner in his acceptance speech, calling her his ‘partner of three years’ and declaring his love from the stage.
The pair then turned heads at the 2026 Oscars, arriving together as one of Hollywood’s most high‑profile couples – only for Chalamet to suffer disappointment when he lost out on the Best Actor gong.
