Cal Wilson looked to be healthy and in good spirits in the last social media post she made before her tragic death on Wednesday at 53.
The comedian posted a short clip to TikTok back in July, which captures her cheekily posing up a storm while holding a Twiggy meat stick in her hand.
Her cat Barnacle then proceeds to jump into frame on the back of her shoulder, reaching out his paw as he sneakily attempts to steal the treat from his owner.
A happy looking Cal bursts into laughter upon seeing this and smiles at the camera.
‘In today’s experiment, will Barnacle leave the coffee machine for a Twiggy stick?’ Cal wrote next to the footage.
