Kate Beckinsale spends Thanksgiving paying tribute to her late cat Clive five months after his tragic passing… as fans send well-wishes to the star: ‘Nobody will ever forget him!’

Kate Beckinsale and her fans spent Thanksgiving paying tribute to her beloved cat Clive on Instagram who passed away in June at 18 years old.

The actress, 50, posted five videos of herself and the Persian cat to her 5.6million followers, some of whom flooded her comments with compassionate messages.

Kate wrote in the caption: ‘Thank you for being with me through every single thing and loving me fiercely and unconditionally for almost 19 years…

‘The gratitude I have for the privilege of loving and being loved by you is boundless . My god how I miss you, my Clive xxx’.

In one of the sweet videos, Clive wore a hat fashioned out of an orange, a blue jumper, and sported bright pink claws. 

One fan admitted: ‘I am not really a fan of cats. But Clive was a dude.’ Kate replied: ‘The dude of all dudes’.

Another promised: ‘Nobody will ever forget Clive, the legend’ with an emotional Kate commenting back: ‘This made me cry. Thank you x’.

‘My lovely dog Sam died in May and I will never get over it, they love us unconditionally x’, another fan empathised. 

Kate replied: ‘That’s the hardest part because it’s almost impossible for people to. Losing unconditional love is so painful. I am so sorry. All my love to you and Sam x’. 

Another wrote: ‘Thanksgiving was my girl’s favorite holiday because she lived for turkey. This is my first one without her. I hope that Clive and Maggie have met.’ and Kate simply replied: ‘Me too’.

Yet another fan wrote: ‘I feel this! I had my boy until he passed at 18.5 years old. He was the best cat ever, literally grew up with me. Got to meet my daughter (and loved her) it’s been 5 years since we lost him and to this day I still cry’.

In response, Kate said: ‘Me too and I know I always will . Sending so much love to you and thank you for your lovely message . I am so very sorry for your loss x’.

A final fan said: ‘Thank you for being so open with your grief over your dear Clive there are still people out there who try to say it’s “just a pet” when in fact it’s some of the most important relationships we’ll have in our lives’.

In the first video, Clive unceremoniously climbed on top of Kate who was lying peacefully on her bed.

Kate asked: ‘What are you doing? Wait. Hi. OK, well, Iguess I’m stuck here then am I? You nut job.’

Clive repeated this action in the second video, except this time was infinitely more impractical as Kate was getting a Brazilian bikini wax. 

Kate worried out loud that Clive’s tail would get caught in the hot wax and Clive walked up towards her face, leaving the danger zone, as if he heard her. 

She joked: ‘Clive is really standing guard over the portals.’ And the beautician replied: ‘He really is. He’s like, “waxing is not coming above the stomach”, apparently.’ 

Kate jokingly replied: ‘I mean, I don’t need it above the stomach,’ to which the beautician quickly said: ‘No, you don’t.’ 

Much to the amusement of the beautician, Kate later joked: ‘Hi honey. Thank you for protecting me. Thank you so much.’ 

In the third clip, Kate was in a car with Clive, who wore a blue shirt with anchors, and she looked chic in huge black sunglasses.

Kate was stroking Clive’s head rhythmically, while Bruno Mars’ Locked Out Of Heaven played in the background.

Towards the end of the video, Kate began lip-syncing and humorously moved Clive to the beat of the music.

Kate’s fourth clip only featured Clive and he modelled the aforementioned blue jumper and fruit orange hat.

The Pearl Harbour star’s final tribute video was of herself in the corridor of her home wearing a grey apron which held Clive in its pocket.

Kate and Clive, who had been together for almost twenty years, danced liked no one was watching to Shania Twain’s Man! I Feel Like A Woman. 

Her hair was in a messy bun at the top of her head and she struck her best best moves, rocking her hips back and forth, thus jolting Clive about.

Kate then declared: ‘Man! I feel like a woman’ and slid backwards. At the end of the video, she asked someone called Harvey to ‘come here!’

Clive is survived by another Persian cat, named Willow, and Pomeranian dog, Myf. 

Kate’s last public relationship was with Len Wiseman, an American film director, whom she was married to from 2004 to 2019.

She has one child, daughter Lily Mo Sheen, who was born in 1999, during her relationship with Welsh actor Michael Sheen.

The actress recently hit back at trolls who insisted she had gotten plastic surgery.
