Kylie Jenner Reveals New Kitten Following the Death of Her Italian Greyhound Dog Norman

Kylie Jenner has a new furry friend following the recent death of her dog Norman.

The Kardashians star, 28, shared several Instagram Stories on Friday, November 7, introducing her followers to a gorgeous white kitten. Jenner filmed the kitty crawling around her home and licking its paws, and posted a sweet clip of her snuggling with her new friend as she kissed it.

Jenner has not yet confirmed her new kitten’s name or whether it is a permanent addition to her home, though it’s clear they have already bonded.

In October, Jenner made the announcement that her Italian Greyhound dog Norman had died at around “13 years old.”

“In Loving Memory of My Sweet Norman,” she wrote via Instagram, alongside a carousel of photos of her late pet. “I still remember the day I brought you home. I had never loved anything so much. I always wanted an Italian Greyhound growing up, but my mommy never let me have one. Then, right after I turned 17, I got you for Christmas, and it was the best gift I could have ever received.”

As she looked back on Norman’s life, Jenner credited the dog with “[filling] my life and so many others with pure joy.”

“Almost 13 years old, and yet I know I’ll remember you far longer than the time we got to share,” she wrote. “I wish I wasn’t writing this post. I knew you were getting older, and I tried to prepare myself, but it’s hard losing you norm.”

Jenner acknowledged feeling heartbroken to be without Norman, though she also expressed gratitude that “my kids got to meet you and love you.” (Kylie and rapper Travis Scott share two children: Stormi Webster, 7, and Aire Webster, 3.)

“My sweet Normyyyy. My heart aches for you,” she concluded. “Rest in peace, my precious Normandle. I love you forever.”

Norman was a fixture on Jenner’s social media in his younger years, as the reality star often brought her pet along on her adventures. However, Norman eventually started appearing less frequently in Jenner’s social posts as he got older. (Norman’s official Instagram account was last updated in December 2017.)

In February 2019, Jenner replied directly to a concerned fan wondering “what happened” to Norman since she wasn’t regularly sharing photos of him.

“What makes u think anything happened to my Norman?” Jenner responded “I don’t post my dogs as much but that doesn’t mean they aren’t very much a part of my life still.”

Meanwhile, the Kardashian-Jenner family are in the middle of a big weekend following matriarch Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday on Wednesday, November 5. Us Weekly learned that all of Kris’s children got together to throw her a James Bond-themed 70th birthday bash on Saturday, November 8. (Kris and late ex-husband Robert Kardashian shared Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian and Rob Kardashian, while Kris and former spouse Caitlyn Jenner are parents to Kylie and Kendall Jenner.)

Despite speculation that the birthday party would double as a surprise wedding for Kris and her partner Corey Gamble, Us reported that there are no current plans for the couple to tie the knot.

Kylie celebrated her mom’s birthday by sharing a throwback photo from a Keeping Up With the Kardashians scene where Kris got her and Kendall’s names tattooed on her lower back.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE QUEEEEEEN,” Kylie wrote on Wednesday.

Earlier this week, Kylie celebrated older sister Kendall’s milestone 30th birthday by sharing a carousel of photos from the festivities, along with the caption: “We love you kenny butt.”
