WWE champion Drew McIntyre has confirmed the death of his cat in an emotional social media post.

McIntyre, 35, and wife Kaitlyn Frohnapfel adopted Piper after she was abandoned by her previous owner last month.

McIntyre thanked Piper for ‘lighting up our lives’ in the short space of time.

On Friday, he tweeted: “We lost our little girl yesterday. If you have a pet, don’t take a moment for granted.

“They’re better than people. Every time you have to leave them tell them they’re loved, you might never get that chance again.

“Cherish every moment. Thank you for lighting up our lives, Piper."

McIntyre’s WWE colleagues sent their condolences to the Scot.

Nikki Cross, who takes on Bayley for the SmackDown Women’s Championship this week, said: “So sorry Drew. Thinking of you guys.”

Meanwhile, Mustafa Ali replied: "So sorry for your loss brother."

At the time of adopting Piper, McIntyre said: "This girl was abandoned outside & we were fortunate someone heard her cries for help.

"Trust can take a while, it starts with small steps but when earned it leads to a beautiful relationship.

"She’s got battle scars but she’s a little warrior. Welcome to the family Piper."

McIntyre has been one of WWE’s star performers during the coronavirus pandemic.

He beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36 and has successfully defended his gold against Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley and Dolph Ziggler.

His next title defence comes at SummerSlam in a potential show-stealer against Randy Orton next month.
