Kate Beckinsale dances around pet cat Willow in bid to get her excited over fluffy pink outfit

She has recently been giving her beloved pet cat Clive much of the spotlight, sharing posts featuring the feline with her 4.6 million Instagram followers.

But Kate Beckinsale made her cat Willow the star of the show on Friday, when she shared video of her pet looking unimpressed as she wore new pink winter woollies.

Looking svelte in a white Nike crop top with grey jogging bottoms, the 47-year-old actress was seen dancing around her kitchen to Billy Joel’s ’80s hit Uptown Girl, while Willow relaxed on the floor in her ensemble barely batting an eyelid.

Purr-ty in pink! Kate Beckinsale made her cat Willow the star of the show on Friday, when she shared video of her pet looking unimpressed as she wore new pink winter woollies

Wearing her chestnut brown locks in a bun with a black headband, the star stood tall in a pair of chunky white trainers as she tried to get her adorable pet excited.

However, her efforts appeared to prove futile as Willow relaxed on a striped rug in the galley kitchen without so much as glancing at the British actress.

Captioning the brief clip, the brunette beauty wrote: ‘Trying to hype Willow up about her winter woolly has been low yield so far.’ 

On Wednesday, the star didn’t hold back when a troll accused her of trying too hard to be ‘eccentric’ with her quirky snap with her other cat Clive.

Taking to Instagram, the actress shared a hilarious snap cradling her pet puss in a baby sling that she captioned: ‘is Canada ready tho [sic]’.

Although the post garnered more than 148,000 likes and praise from her celebrity pals, Kate did find herself under fire from trolls. 

As one commented: ‘You pride yourself on being eccentric, the whole thing smacks of to much effort’, Kate clapped back in reference to their profile picture, ‘omg it’s too funny you saying that with that hair do’. 

Another follower compared Kate to fictional supernatural villain Slender Man, commenting: ‘U shape like a sexy slender man (sic).’

Taking the backhanded compliment in her stride, the actress quipped: ‘literally what I was aiming for’ (sic).’

Much of lockdown has seen Kate tickle fans with her hilarious posts, with many starring Clive.

The Underworld star also regularly features her other cat Willow, and her Pomerian pooch Myth. 

In November, Kate was left ‘heartbroken’ when her 11-year-old Maltese-Chihuahua Ingrid died.

Paying tribute to the pup, she shared a sweet picture cradling her pet, captioned: ‘Ingrid 2009-2020. Heartbroken. She fought so hard for months. Fly safe our sweetest sweetest girl.’ 

Kate will next be seen on screens in Jolt, an action-comedy about a homicidal bouncer with an anger management problem that she controls with the help of an electrode-lined vest she uses to shock herself back to normalcy.

The Tanya Wexler directed film also stars Bobby Cannavale, Laverne Cox and Stanley Tucci and is expected to be released next year.

Kate will also star in El Tonto an upcoming comedy film written and directed by Charlie Day, that follows a silent character who becomes an accidental celebrity only to lose it all.
