Kardashian's cat dies, Kim Kardashian's cat died, according to multiple reports. It's always very sad when a pet dies since they are often like members of the family, but it wasn't technically her cat anymore. Mercy the kitten was a gift from the reality television star's rapper boyfriend Kanye West. However, the buxom brunette discovered she was allergic to the pretty kitty shortly after receiving it, and she had to find the little furball a new home.

Kim Kardashian alerted her fans to the cat's death in a blog post called "Rest In Peace, Little Mercy" dated Dec. 7, 2012. She wrote, "It is with deep sadness that I have to tell you all that my kitten, Mercy, has passed away. My heart is completely broken. . . . It broke not only my heart that little Mercy died at only four months old, but Sydney’s too. Mercy was a gentle and loving kitten and we are all going to miss her so much. Thanks to Sydney for making Mercy’s short life one filled with love."

Sydney Hitchcock is Khloe Kardashian's assistant and the new owner of the Persian teacup kitten. It was Hitchcock's boyfriend who discovered that Mercy was in distress and the couple who sought medical treatment for the feline, reported The Huffington Post. "Hitchcock's boyfriend called to tell her [Sydney] Mercy was limp and not moving. They rushed her to an animal hospital where veterinarians made the terrible diagnosis -- a fatal virus, which acts like a cancer, had attacked Mercy's stomach."

Thanks to Sydney Hitchcock, Kim Kardashian's cat died surrounded by loving and caring owners. Maybe the reality starlet will get her sister's assistant another kitten to help ease her loss.
