Kate Beckinsale revealed her saddest tattoo yet in August 2023. The A-lister proudly showed off a tattoo of her late cat, Clive. The Instagram photo featured a super somber shot of Clive’s face superimposed onto her arm. “This has really helped. Thank you so much, @_dr_woo,” Beckinsale wrote, graciously linking her tattoo artist. One month later, Beckinsale showed off a second back tattoo, which featured Clive’s striking eyes. “How can a light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale … love you always,” Beckinsale wrote alongside the Instagram post. The second slide featured a second, zoomed-in image of the tattoo.

Beckinsale’s cat had died only a few months earlier. “Clive has died,” wrote Beckinsale as she made the devastating announcement. “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 … My heart is absolutely and totally broken. 2004-2023.” In the heartbreaking photo, Beckinsale tightly cradled Clive in her arms before his death. It’s uncertain whether Clive faced any life-threatening health issues, but at the age of 19, he exceeded the typical lifespan of a house cat. And though that’s probably no consolation for the ultra-devoted cat mom, at least Beckinsale will probably never regret the tattoo.
