In her latest clip, Kate sat in her garden and gave the fox some treats while James Taylor’s You’ve Got A Friend played.
Alongside the video, she wrote, “I have been so touched by the absolute power that is kindness and friendship during what has been a really tough week… Please everyone put kindness anywhere, anywhere.
“It’s life changing. Thank you to all my special people. And my little orphaned beast.’

The Underworld star clearly wanted the stray to stay close as she gave him some food and rubbed him up while he sat in the garden.
The star wore a white vest top teamed with a black lace top and clipped burgundy vest along with a pair of black leggings.
She styled her brunette locks in an updo, paired with sunglasses and chunky black boots.
In the first video she shared with the fox, Kate found them waiting just outside the back door.
“Have you come for tea? Come on, let’s go,’ Kate said as she walked the animal outside.

The Underworld star first started posting about her new fox friend on June 21, revealing that she found him at her parents’ house.
“My parents have a new friend — a fox cub who wants to hang out,” she said in the post, which included three photos of the fox.
“I’m so jealous I had to break out of Clive’s summer dungarees,” she added, sharing a photo of her cat Clive in a special outfit.

A week later, on June 29, Kate again shared more photos of the fox on her lap.
‘Update on Jude and Little Foxy’s relationship. It’s also true that my mom rarely goes outside without a pair of Cumberland sausages between her butt cheeks, but she’s objectively good with animals,” Kate joked.
She shared another post two days ago which she captioned: “Absolute fox heaven. Swipe for Roy makes it mythically comical.

Fox heaven: She shared another post two days ago, which she titled “Absolute fox heaven”. Swipe for Roy, which makes it mythically weird.
The first photo showed Kate lying on the floor in a pink top and short pink shorts with the fox right next to her.
She shared another video of the fox eating more snacks while Kate joked, “Lick my leg a bit while you down there?”
The next video shows her feeding the fox, while a man named Roy mentions that foxes and humans “can mate and have children,” Kate said, but she doesn’t want to think about that.
She also shared another video of her feeding the fox on Monday, adding: “Big thanks to Penny for her expert fox advice and kindness.
“A huge thank you to whoever made that horrible fart at Selfridges this afternoon that caused me to almost fall off the escalator and die.”
