Valerie Bertinellimarked a solemn moment Tuesday, remembering her beloved cat Dex, who died a decade ago.
Sharing a selfie with Dex, the Food Network star captionedher Instagram post, “A little hard to believe it’s been 10 years since I’ve held this sweet guy.”
“And I still miss him. Pet love, and loss, is… I don’t quite know how to explain it. I’ve been through a lot of love and loss throughout my life, and it’s not harder or easier it’s just…different. Ya know? Anyway, here’s a pic of my sweet Dex 🤎” Bertinelli, 63, added with the post.
She described Tigger as “the big one” and “the morning meower.” Of Henry, the actress said that he loves Andraia Allsop,the fiancée of Bertinelli’s son, Wolfgang Van Halen— while adding that kitties Bubba and Beau adore Wolfgang.

In a post from January, Bertinelli playfully uses another cat’s paws as if they were drumsticks playing to a musical beat. She captioned the video clip: “I have no idea how my kitties let me do this to them! 😹 Yes, I made three of them drum; omg 🤣.”
