The 34-year-old took to social media on Wednesday to share a video of the damage, revealing a large hole chewed into her $495 clutch from The Concept.
Clearly unimpressed, Kats joked in the caption: 'Anyone after a one-year-old Samoyed?'

In November 2023, she walked down the aisle with her finance broker fiancé James Cerolini in Melbourne.
The pair married in a lavish ceremony at St Patrick's Cathedral and held her opulent reception at State Library Victoria.
She stunned in an elaborate, semi-sheer lace gown by Zuhair Murad, which she acquired after making trips to Paris for fittings.
Effie later changed into a second dress for her reception, this time from local designer Alin Le'kal.
It was no small affair, with 260 in attendance on the star-studded guest list, including Nadia, Bec , Khanh Ong, Jessie Murphy and Lana Wilkinson.
Women were asked to wear black or gold to what was described as an elegant affair.
The founder of the Effie Kats and Bayse brands said the wedding,'exceeded every expectation I had'.
She told the Herald Sun: 'Every part of it just blew my mind. It was great. I had a wedding planner, Valentina, I could not have done it without her.
'There were small hiccups along the way, but it was the perfect day.'
The society couple became engaged in 2021 during lockdown, giving Effie lots of time to plan her big day.
'I've attended so many events and we want to create something spectacular for our guests,' she told Confidential.
'It's on Stakes Day and Remembrance Day so it'll add to an already insane schedule.'
Effie had at first decided to organise the event herself without the help of a wedding planner, but later changed her mind.
Around the time of their engagement, Effie and James purchased a home in Melbourne's Malvern.
The 'rundown' three bedroom property, which cost $1.65 million, is a fixer-upper project for the pair.
'We wanted a house in the right location with some character, that needed a lot of love' Effie told news.com.au.
Effie is a beloved Australian designer whose clothing has been seen on A-list clients like Dannii Minogue, Kelly Rowland, Carrie Bickmore and DJ Havana Brown.

Gary Lineker reunites with his first wife Michelle Cockayne at their son Harry's Ibiza wedding - 19 years after bitter divorce
Gary Lineker reunited with his first wife Michelle Cockayne at their son Harry's Ibiza wedding, following their bitter divorce. The pair divorced in 2006 on the grounds of Gary's 'unreasonable behaviour,' and share four sons - George, 34, Harry, 31, Tobias, 29, and Angus, 26. But Gary, 64, and Michelle, 59, appeared to put the past behind them while celebrating their second eldest son's nuptials to fiancée Annabelle in Ibiza. The former Match Of The Day pundit looked dapper in a beige linen suit as he sat beside Michelle, who looked glamorous in a blue maxi dress. They were also seen beaming for a family snap alongside their four sons, who were dressed the same as father Gary.

Gary, 64, and Michelle, 59, appeared to put the past behind them while celebrating their second eldest son's nuptials to fiancée Annabelle in Ibiza In High Court papers seen during their divorce, Michelle said the former England striker known as football's 'Mr Nice Guy' had caused her 'stress and anxiety'. The former couple met when she was 14 and he was an 18-year-old reserve for his home town club Leicester City. 'There wasn't one particular moment when we suddenly became a couple but I do remember asking her out for our first proper date to a restaurant when she was 17 and it just went on from there,' he once recalled. 'I was probably keener on her then than she was on me and I'm probably keener now.' Gary went on to remarry Welsh model Danielle Bux, but they later split in 2016 after nine years of marriage and have remained close friends ever since. Danielle subsequently relocated to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career and went on to find love with Nate Greenwald, an Ivy League educated lawyer with CAA. The model, already a parent to teenage daughter Ella, 17, from a former relationship, announced she was expecting her first child with Greenwald in February 2017. The couple then welcomed their daughter, Romy Wren, in August 2017. Elsewhere on the special day, Gary raucously swigged booze from a bottle as he reunited with brother Wayne despite their 17-year feud. In a video shared to Instagram, Gary necked back the drink before the bottle was passed to his entrepreneur younger brother, 63, with the pair having seemingly buried the hatchet for the family event. The former footballer's high-spirited celebrations - which left him worse for wear - comes just days after he quit the BBC amid his explosive anti-Semitic rat post row. Gary and Wayne's feud dates back to 2008, when former England and Barcelona striker Gary started seeing Danielle Bux and brought her on holiday to Ibiza. 'In my opinion, Danielle cost me my relationship with my brother. Sadly Gary is no longer a part of my life,' Wayne told The Sun in April 2015. Wayne was left confused when their weekly phone conversations and home visits ended abruptly - but he blames it on an awkward first encounter with Danielle, who Gary married in 2009 but divorced in 2016. 'They came to Ibiza in August 2008 and it was really awkward. I didn't spark with Danielle and our relationship was cold,' said Wayne. Wayne claimed that Danielle stayed in her room on the first day and they did not speak to one another during a night out the following night. The influencer did not want to risk upsetting his brother by bringing the tension up with Gary - but Wayne never spoke to Danielle after the holiday. He was the best man at Gary's first wedding to ex-wife Michelle in 1986, but he was not even a guest at his brother's second set of nuptials. The club owner refused to attend because his brother told him that he couldn't bring his then-girlfriend, Ana Tanaka, who he been with for 18 months. 'She was a lovely, polite girl, and not a five-minute girlfriend,' argued Wayne. Wayne has claimed that he has tried to reconcile the relationship in the past, including on Gary's 50th birthday but a phone call between the pair lasted last less than a minute. Wayne recently reflected on his 17-year feud with his brother, telling The Mail's Straight to the Comments! podcast that things remain strained between the two, noting: 'It's not so good to be honest, we don't really speak very often. I'll always be his number one fan.' However, the duo have appeared to put their differences aside as they joined other family members to celebrate Harry's big day. He then went on to add a picture of himself enjoying a glass of wine with daughter Tia, who looked gorgeous in a fringed champagne dress Wayne took to Instagram on Sunday to share a snap of himself looking dapper in a grey blazer and white trousers as he posed alongside son Freddie. Captioning his post, he penned: 'The boys are ready for the big family wedding today as my nephew @harry_lineker weds the beautiful @bellacfh_ #ibizawedding.' He then went on to add a picture of himself enjoying a glass of wine with daughter Tia, who looked gorgeous in a fringed champagne dress. Meanwhile, Gary cut a very sharp figure in a tan blazer as he posed eldest son George, with their matching attire indicating they were both groomsmen. Gary went on to share details of the nuptials on his The Rest Is Football podcast on Monday, telling co-host Alan Shearer: 'I had Harry's wedding which went swimmingly well. 'He had an amazing speech and the bride looked amazing, it was a beautiful day. The Sun was shining and it was great.' The star went on to admit that he's a bit worse for wear following the wild celebrations, noting: 'I'm a bit fuzzy and a little bit jaded, yes! As you would expect.' It comes as the long-serving Match of the Day host recently presented his final programme for the channel on the last day of the 2024-25 season. Gary had been set to continue working with the BBC for next year's 2026 World Cup as the front man of the channel's coverage in North America, as well as leading FA Cup coverage. But the England legend announced that he would step back from the broadcaster for good after becoming embroiled in controversy for sharing an Instagram story about Zionism featuring a rat - an antisemitic trope used by the Nazis to characterise Jewish people as vermin. Announcing his exit in a BBC statement, the former England footballer said that he '(recognised) the error and upset that (he) caused. 'Stepping back now feels like the responsible course of action,' he added, stating that he 'would never consciously repost anything antisemitic'. After Lineker shared his statement stepping back from the broadcaster, the BBC's director of sport Alex Kay-Jelski sent an email to staff minutes afterwards highlighting how 'difficult and emotional' the rolling controversy had been for many of his employees. He added: 'It is sad to be saying goodbye to such a brilliant broadcaster and I also want to thank Gary for his years of service'.

Best women's designer sunglasses for 2025
Are you cat's eye or square; classic or avant-garde? Anything goes this season. Keep scrolling for the best women's designer sunglasses to shop now. • This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue Drawing inspiration from the shape of Vivienne Westwood's own glasses, these oval-shaped frames feature a classic tortoiseshell interior and gradient lenses that provide UV protection as well as a clever anti-glare tint. The sunglasses, which are also handily scratch and impact-resistant, are part of the luxury house's latest sun collection which references vintage styles with its offering of baroque-inspired frames and intricate embellishments. £185, Vivienne Westwood Keep the frames classic — this small, square shape is universally flattering — and you can play with experimental coloured lenses. While yellow has a cool 1970s feel, this blue tint is a more modern choice for the sunny months ahead. £447, Prada at Fenwick Founded in 1846, the Spanish luxury house Loewe was previously exclusively a leather making company and over 170 years later, it's still a firm favourite for designer bags. However, the brand is making a name for itself in the sunglasses sphere with its playful silhouettes, colourful frames and tongue-in-cheek designs. With their slightly oversized aviator shape and gradient lenses, this pair is the perfect compromise of classic yet contemporary. £335, Loewe at Mytheresa Two accessories in one, Bottega Veneta's black aviators feature curled metal temples with teardrop details at the end of each arm, inspired by the brand's bestselling drop earrings. £490, Bottega Veneta King of oversized eyewear, and a personal advocate of the aviator shape, Tom Ford is dominating the sunglasses space. You're spoilt for choice when it comes to classic frames. However, this pair, aptly named the Icon, are truly timeless. Crafted from glossy, marbled tortoiseshell, the frames are finished with the brand's signature 'T' gold hardware at the sides. £545, Tom Ford at Net-a-Porter Made in Japan and showcasing Gucci's favourite Rosso Ancora red colour, these acetate frames have an oversized, rounded shape that's synonymous with the large lenses of the 1970s. £460, Gucci Founded in 2014, the LA-based label Jacques Marie Mage designs frames that are all handcrafted in the brand's Japanese studio using an extensive 300-step design process. The angular, chunky acetate frames even featured as part of Kendall Roy's quietly luxurious wardrobe in the hit television series Succession — hardly surprising given its track record for using lavish flourishes such as 18-carat gold within its sunnies. £1,100, Jacques Marie Mage at Net-a-Porter A bit Seventies, a bit Iris Apfel — a lot fabulous, these Valentino women's sunglasses can do no wrong in our eyes. Plus, the oversized, square shape is large enough to keep you incognito on holiday. £465, Valentino at Mytheresa Made in Italy, Celine's squoval (a squared-off oval shape) sunglasses feel splendidly Sixties and are ideal for those adventurous types who don't want to stick to black or brown frames. £400, Celine at Mytheresa Far from basic black shades, Dior's luxury sunglasses take inspiration from the house's classic Lady 95.22 bag with a quilted 'Cannage' finish and gold-tone hardware on the arms. £460, Dior at Mytheresa If super oversized frames feel too audacious you're in luck as super skinny shades inspired by the silhouettes of the 1990s are very much back on the menu. These Cartier rectangle frames have undergone the luxury treatment with signature Panthère de Cartier hardware — including panther heads finished with enamel spots and green crystal eyes — at the temple. £1,130, Cartier at Net-a-Porter An alternative to the classic square, round and oval shapes on offer, Saint Laurent's Lou Lou design features large heart-shaped frames for a hit of playful nostalgia. £315, Saint Laurent at Fenwick

Trinny Woodall, 61, displays her impressive abs in skintight matching gym set as she hosts a yoga session with fans
Trinny Woodall displayed her impressive abs as she lead a yoga session with her fans on Tuesday. The What Not To Wear star, 61, proved age is just a number as she showed off her toned torso on social media. Trinny took to her Instagram Story of Tuesday to share she was about to go live on YouTube with a yoga class for her followers to join in on. She announced the class sporting a skintight matching gym set in a grey crocodile print, consisting of a strappy sports bra and high-waisted leggings. In the clip, Trinny said: 'Good morning all, sorry for the lateness. Once a month I do Australian telly and it doesn't end until 12, so I just overslept. 'Anyway Victoria's here and we're going to do a sort of half an hour yoga session of just waking up your body and getting ready for the day. So join us on YouTube now.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Trinny opened up about her struggle with her weight, admitting that the pounds fall off her too easily. Also taking to Instagram, she shared that she now focuses on getting enough protein in her diet after losing 4kg from an illness. She said: 'I'm not one to talk about weight because for me it's about strength and definitely the maintenance of protein as you go down the path of life. 'But today I am I have always had a high metabolism and I have always been what some people might define as thin. 'What I don't love is when I lose weight especially after being ill and I can lose it quickly - what I notice is the change in my body.' Trinny added: 'Muscle needs daily protein and muscle keeps my bones protected - it gives structure to my skin and it gives me physical and mental strength. 'It is harder as you get older to maintain muscle mass, but it is so important.' So in a bid to keep her body looking its best, she has recently doubled her protein intake. Trinny took to her Instagram Story of Tuesday to share she was about to go live on YouTube with a yoga class for her followers to join in on Trinny joked: 'I don't want to be in a bikini with a saggy a**e. I'm just going admit that one. 'But most importantly when i get sick and lose weight it makes me feel so so vulnerable to not being strong in myself and how when I am physically strong it gives me such a mental strength. 'Ask yourself are you taking enough protein every day? You should really take double the kilos that you weigh especially as you reach menopause and beyond... Sometimes that's really challenging.' Trinny openly talks about some of the health benefits she buys into as the reason she looks so good into her 60s - including regular workouts and consistent skincare. She most recently revealed the secrets behind her noticeably radiant complexion after what she describes as a 'very stressful' few months. Trinny, the powerhouse creator of beauty brand Trinny London, has seen her business skyrocket over the past few years with a rapidly growing following. Torn between her many commitments, she was starting to really feel - and see - the impact of her hectic schedule. Until she discovered her unexpected love for daily meditation - something she admits 'wasn't for her' but now describes as 'profound'. She told FEMAIL: 'I lead quite a stressed life and I was realising that stress, medically, is a really sh**ty place to get to for your body. It just is. It will affect you physically and medically. 'So I thought I would take control before I let stress affect my body in a negative way. 'I had two people come into my life and I noticed such a profound difference in how they were [after meditating]. One of them I thought had had a facelift, and the other was just so much easier to sit and chat to.' Inspired, Trinny started getting up half an hour earlier each morning and spend 20 minutes meditating with a mantra. She then finds time for a second 20-minute block in the afternoon - even if it's in the bathroom at her office. 'I've been doing it for four weeks now and I really feel a shift. When you're stressed, from an aesthetic perspective, it shows on your face,' she said.
