Matilda Rice and Art Green, who met on the set of the reality television show The Bachelor, had two rescue cats.

Art Green and Matilda Rice's cat has died after being run over.

Rice wrote on Instagram their "little fur baby" Christine, "AKA Steenzy/Shnozza/Shritzel/Señora/Shnorey", was hit by a car on Sunday morning and killed.

"She was the most loving, sweet, loyal, sassy little cat and we loved her so much," Rice wrote.

"I'll miss her sleeping right beside my head every night, and her weird meow she did when she would bring out the chicken neck from her bowl to show us, even though we were the ones that put it there."

The pair, who live in Warkworth, met on the television show The Bachelor.

Rice gave birth to their first child Milo on September 4.
