“We have now lost — I don’t even want to tell you how many cats.”
This is a Tesla. Also known as a car or a vehicle. But, according to Jamie Lynn Spears, it’s also a “secret cat killer.”

On Friday, the Zoey 101 actor went on a rant, claiming that her Tesla is the grim reaper for her cats. Yup.
“I know that there’s just bigger things to worry about in the world right now, but somebody’s gotta let Elon Musk know that the Tesla is a secret cat killer and it’s a problem that we’ve really got to fix,” Jamie said in a now-deleted video.

Apparently, her unfortunate felines didn’t hear the car coming before they went on to glory. “We have now lost — I don’t even want to tell you how many cats,” Jamie shared. “It’s really devastating and tragic for everyone involved.”
Jamie then suggested Elon, “make one of those noises that bother cat or animal ears when it cranks up, so that way, they know something’s happening and they aren’t caught off guard and things don’t end in a very tragic way.”
“So, Elon Musk, let’s figure this out. I mean, you owe me a couple cats,” she said. And now, I — and many others — am really concerned about how many cats have been ran over by Jamie’s Tesla.
“Not Jamie Lynn Spears losing track of how many of her cats she’s killed with her Tesla,” one person tweeted.

“I’m sorry but nothing will [distract] me today from the fact that Jamie Lynn Spears thinks it’s Tesla’s fault that she’s a serial cat killer,” this person wrote.

“Hoping all the animal shelters put a ban on Jamie Lynn Spears from adopting any more cats. Ffs,” another person added.

Jamie must have caught wind that people were horrified by her vagueness, so she later clarified, writing, “I did not run over any cats.”
She also backtracked on her initial comments blaming Tesla for the death of her kittens, one which was named Turkey. “Tesla is not to be blamed, and was never intended to be. User error is admittedly involved,” she wrote.
The 29-year-old said that she was, “only making a suggestion” for what is clearly an issue that she is aware of…but IDK how.
Anyway, Jamie ended her post saying she loves Teslas, so that’s that. Let’s just hope her cats loves them too.
