Khloe Kardashian feels "really, really terrible" that a decision she made left her cats "miserable".

The 41-year-old reality star has expressed her regret at listening to bad advice and getting her two pets declawed - which involves having all or part of a cat's third toe bones and the attached claws removed - because she is now afraid to let them roam freely outside because they can no longer protect themselves against perceived threats.

Speaking on her Khloe In Wonder Land podcast, she said: "I was really misadvised about getting my cats declawed.

"I've never owned cats before. I didn't even know that was a thing.

"I feel really, really terrible that I did go in this direction. I feel like that's why my cats are miserable and it was at my doing.

"My cats wear AirTags. Like, they're not allowed to even go near a door. I'm so afraid if they get out because they have no way to defend themselves. They lost their protection tools. It makes me sad."

Khloe - who has True, eight, and Tatum, three, with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson - first welcomed Grey Kitty into her household in November 2022 and around 18 months later, she brought another cat, Baby Kitty, into the family but she admitted it was a "big mistake" introducing a second feline because they don't get along.

She said: "I have two possessed cats. Grey Kitty was great. Perfect. The saint of a cat. Never did anything wrong.

"So what did I do? We gotta get True a second cat, because True wants one. I got Baby Kitty for True's sixth birthday. Once we got Baby Kitty, Grey Kitty started peeing on one of the beds to tell us she hates us and she's p***** that we have another cat. They're the same cat. I thought this was great because why would a cat wanna be alone? Big mistake.

"Then I found out Baby Kitty started mimicking Grey's behavior and started doing it, and I'm still blaming Grey Kitty.

"I had to put cameras to find out which cat was doing it.

"Grey Kitty's back to being an angel and now I have Baby Kitty, who's just like a demon right now. What do I do? 'Cause I can't live like this.

"The vet and the breeder, everyone's like, 'We've never seen a cat do this for this long.' They've given me all the suggestions and all the tips, but also if she's not happy, I don't know what to do. So I am in an animal circus."

Several states in the US have banned the declawing of cats except for medical reasons, with Khloe's home state California outlawing the practise in January.
