She captioned the adorable post: 'I tend to slightly dread Halloween these days because Clive was so happy be my muse and also looked like a supermodel, fully committing to every costume and silly idea.

'I really feel that Myf and Willow actually sense that and have opted to carry his torch and they really delivered - no complaints and some iconic posing , which is new ... RIP to my soulmate and love of my life, and I hope you are amused from cat heaven to see the little ‘uns carrying it on on your behalf . Love you x'

In one picture, Kate donned an elegant black dress with a statement pink bow and matching handbag, and held on to Willow who was also dyed a pastel pink.

For another snap, Kate wore a corseted pink mini dress with a balloon skirt and towering platform keels as she played around with the Persian cat.

The actress revealed last year she misses her cat so much that she sleeps with his ashes each night.

The Van Helsing star was 'totally heartbroken' when Clive died in June aged 19 and was clearly still processing her emotions. 

After a fan asked on Instagram whether he was cremated or buried, she wrote: 'Cremated and call me weird but I sleep with his little casket in my bed every night.'

When he died she wrote: 'My heart is absolutely and totally broken. Every single part of my house feels like he should be in it.'

The self-professed 'cat person' and star of the Underworld horror films, got Clive as a kitten.

She regularly dressed him up for Christmas and Halloween – and they were often seen in co-ordinated outfits.

'We got him when my daughter [Lily Sheen, now 20] was little,' she told People in 2019. 

'And he usually is shaved into an odd shape, but he's a recent cancer survivor.'

In another video, Kate, played with her dog Wylf as he dressed up as an rabbit with a carrot 

While speaking about Clive's personality to the outlet, the mother-of-one raved that his 'favorite things in the world are suitcases and boxes and bags.'

'If you bring home a pair of sneakers or take out bag, he's immediately inside it,' she gushed. 'So we got him this suitcase bed, and he loves it so much.'

Beckinsale also stated that she prefers cats because they're 'easier' to care for than dogs.

'You don't have to walk around with a bag of poo like you do with a dog, which I hate to walk around with a bag of poo,' she mused.

Clive's life of luxury was widely documented on the performer's social media, which is full of photos of him dressed in hilarious costumes, traveling on private planes and remaining by her side through thick and thin.
