Life as a pop star may seem like a whirlwind of glitz and glamour, but it also comes with moments of profound heartache and loss. On January 24, Kesha shared a deeply emotional update on Instagram, announcing the death of her beloved cat, Carl. Known for her bold personality and chart-topping hits, the singer offered fans a glimpse into her vulnerable side, expressing her grief through heartfelt words and a series of touching photos.
Kesha writes a crushing note for her cat: ‘You really broke my heart this time’
Kesha poured out her grief over Carl’s passing in a deeply emotional Instagram post. She wrote, “Carl my little chicken. You really broke my heart this time.” The singer’s love for her feline companion was evident as she continued, “I’ll see you in the next life my baby boy.” The heartfelt caption concluded with a nod to Carl’s unique presence, “God really outdid himself with this creature.”
The post, which garnered thousands of likes and comments, showed Carl throughout the years. The images depicted the white cat cradled in Kesha’s arms both indoors and outdoors — a testament to the bond they shared. Among the cherished memories, the post also included pictures from a photoshoot, where Carl appeared to effortlessly pose for the camera. Other snapshots captured Carl engaging in amusing activities — sitting at a drumset, exploring a Versace shopping bag, and curiously perched at an Ouija board.
The response from Kesha’s followers was filled with empathy and support. Comments flooded in, with users expressing their condolences for her loss. “We all loved Carl dearly… So sorry to hear,” one follower commented. Another wrote, “Rest in peace, baby Carl. I’m so sorry Kesha, my heart goes out to you right now. I love you.”
This personal loss follows Kesha’s recent celebration of the 15th anniversary of her debut album, “Animal.” The album — featuring hits like “Tik Tok” — marked the beginning of Kesha’s musical journey, one that she attributes in part to her mother, songwriter Pebe Sebert.
