Celebrity Pet Lovers: 10 Stars and Their Beloved Furry Friends

Stars—they’re just like us! Especially when it comes to being obsessed with their canine and feline friends (lets face it, the late Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette lives a luxurious life most people couldn’t dream of). Celebrity pets often become famous by association, featuring on their social media and becoming beloved in their own right. "I can't imagine my life without animals,” says Halle Berry. “I have two dogs and three cats. Coming home and finding them all lined up at the door waiting for me has got to be one of the sweetest joys of my life." Here are 10 other celebrities who can’t live without their cuddly companions.

For showing patience.”

Drew Barrymore loves that her cats and dogs are best friends. "I like when they play together,” she says. “I think it's so cute. My cat Lucky always wants to play with my dog Douglas. Especially his tail, and she snuggles with him in the bed. And if I'm in my bed and I see them like spooning I can't even take it. It's the happiest thing I could ever see in my life. When the kids are in the bed and all the animals are on the bed I'm like, 'This is the happiest square footage I've ever known in my life.'"

Gwen Stefani first broke out as the lead singer of No Doubt. In a 2012 interview with Marie Claire, she talked about wanting to find more balance in her life. "I've got myself in a lot of trouble by not saying no. This last year I kind of stopped working out. I think my body just needed a break. And so I did that, and focused more on feeling good as opposed to beating myself up. I have learned to delegate. It still looks awesome, but did I pick out the buttons? No, I didn't. I missed the last two Fashion Weeks because they were when school started; I can't miss the first week of kindergarten."

2. Sarah Michelle Geller

Sarah Michelle Geller is a ‘90s icon, starring in the series Buffy The Vampire Slayer and All My Children, and films I Know What You Did Last Summer and Cruel Intentions. Last year, Gellar gave an interview to Shape, where she talked about her wellness. Geller says that she is working on putting herself first. "I've been flying a lot and it's the old adage of put your mask on first and then you put your child's on,” she says. “And it's counterintuitive because as a parent, you just want to take care of your child, but the truth is if I don't take care of me, I can't take care of you. So that, to me, is self care."

3. Catherine Zeta-Jones

In 2015, DiCaprio opened up about his career in an interview with Wired. “I don’t think anyone really gets used to being recognized around the world. It kind of feels like a videogame at times, especially with paparazzi and people following you and things of that nature. But it’s part of who I am now. It’s part of my life as long as I choose to do what I do as a profession, and I love what I do. I think I survive because I don’t limit myself. If there’s some experience I want to have or a place I want to go, I do it. I think that’s how I bring some semblance of normality to my life.”
