The actress, 49, shared in anInstagram poston Monday that her cat Clive, whoBeckinsale frequently featured on her social media, has died. Beckinsale expressed her sadness in the post’s caption, alongside a photo of her cuddling Clive. In the picture, Clive is wrapped in a pink blanket and resting under Beckinsale’s chin.
“Clive has died,” she began the emotional caption. “I don’t have it in me to make a montage or even look at pictures of him yet. 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,” she added.
“Kate💔 sending you love ♥️,” wrote actressAnya Taylor Joy.
“This is the worst pain. I’m so sorry,” said actress and rescue pet advocate Anne Wheaton.
A self-proclaimed “cat person,” Beckinsalerevealed to PEOPLE 2019that Clive had survived cancer despite being “quite old.” She said she first got the gray-and-white kitty when her 24-year-old daughter,Lily Sheen, was little.
Beckinsale’s followers have come to love Clive through his owner’s Instagram page. Beckinsale often used Instagram to show off her furry friend dressed in different costumes —sometimes matching theUnderworldstar.
Despite the two cats loving each other, Beckinsale explained that the pets have very different personalities.
“Clive’s favorite things in the world are suitcases and boxes and bags, if you bring home a pair of sneakers or take out a bag, he’s immediately inside it,” she said. “So we got him this suitcase bed, and he loves it so much.”

Willow enjoys a bag or two, too, but prefers to “sleep in creepy, psychopath places,” said Beckinsale. “Like the back of a drawer or places that she could die.”
She added: “Willow is more of a handful, but she’s so pretty, we forgive her.”
