Kate Beckinsale, 51, shows off her toned abs in tiny bikini as she poses with her cat and dog before the feline leaves her with nasty injury

Kate Beckinsale posed for a slew of stunning snaps with her adorable cat and dog on Sunday.

The actress, 51, looked sensational in an all-black two piece as she displayed her flat tummy and toned legs during her Mexican retreat.

She tried to enlist the help of her cat Willow and dog Myf for the purposes of the social media shoot, but the feline wasn’t having much of it for long.

After taking a few photos, Willow growled in discontent and fled the scene. Kate captioned the post: ‘Problem child.’ 

In a video shared in her post, Kate warned the cat when it growled at her: ‘Don’t be a d**k!’

But in another photo, Kate revealed that the shoot had not ended well because she sustained an injury.

The actress showed her million followers a piece of her bloodied skin that had seemingly been clawed at by the cat.  

The Underworld star was then asked in the comments section of her post why Willow had attacked her.

The fan asked: ‘Why Willow attacked you?’ (sic) 

She replied: ‘hates myf’, revealing a supposed rivalry between her Persian and her Pomeranian.

The Hollywood star still managed to look sensational as she scooped her honeyed locks up into a ponytail.

In terms of makeup, she opted for a natural look as she lay down on her blue sofa in a  sultry pose.
