Abbey Clancy said there\u2019s \u201cnothing they can do\u201d as she prepared for a heartbreaking family loss this Christmas<\/a>. The model shares four children with former England footballer Peter Crouch.<\/a><\/p>\n

But Abbey, 39, revealed the family had to prepare themselves for a heartbreaking loss this Christmas. Her beloved cat Maggie, who had been with Abbey for over 20 years, had to be put down last week.<\/p>\n

Before saying the sad goodbyes to Maggie, Abbey says the family had a \u201ccuddle\u201d with the feline and took their final photos together.<\/a> On The Therapy Crouch podcast, Abbey said: \u201cWe\u2019ve got a sad week, my cat baby has had to be put down this week. She\u2019s on palliative care at home, she\u2019s got stage four kidney failure.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s on pain killers. She\u2019s been in the hospital all week on fluids and there\u2019s nothing they can do.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven on medication she was deteriorating and I said, \u2018Look, I want her home\u2019, so we all had a nice cuddle in bed last night and took pictures with her, but yeah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter, who netted 22 times in 42 England caps, added: \u201cShe\u2019s still with us but it\u2019s time that we made a decision. She\u2019s had the best life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abbey paid tribute to Maggie on Instagram<\/a>, sharing a snap of two of her children cuddling the beloved family pet. She wrote: \u201cGoodnight my beautiful baby. You were one in a million. 20 years with you I’m heartbroken.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another snap the mum-of-four posted a pic of one of her sons cuddling Maggie on what looked like the kitchen floor and wrote: “Lost without you baby,” followed by a red love heart.<\/p>\n

Maggie\u2019s death comes just weeks after the family welcomed a new addition. They brought home a ‘teacup’ Maltese dog called Bambi, the same breed as Abbey\u2019s mum\u2019s dog Bella, for daughter Liberty\u2019s 10th birthday.<\/p>\n

On a previous edition of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey said: \u201cLib was saying please, mummy, can I get a Bella? And I just thought, you know what? I’m going to get one.”<\/p>\n

Peter, 44, originally resisted getting a new dog, pointing out the family already have a black labrador, cavapoo, tabby cat, a stray kitten they recently adopted from Portugal and a lizard, which was a birthday request from her youngest son Jack for his fifth birthday. Abbey however didn\u2019t listen and the family welcomed Bambi in November.<\/p>\n

He recalled: “I’m sitting there on a Sunday, and Abbey walks in with it under her jumper, saying ‘It’s arrived!’ I just couldn’t believe it. We talk about losing the dressing room, right? I’ve lost the household.”<\/p>\n

Abbey has insisted her love of having animals in the house stems from her own childhood when she wasn’t allowed pets. And the one pet she did have – a kitten – was given away by her mum to a policeman. She shared: “I’ve still got PTSD from my childhood because I was never allowed a pet. The one kitten I had, my mum gave away to a policeman.”<\/p>\n
