‘Along with the signed cd, some lucky purchasers of these items may even receive complimentary cat hair stuck inside the pages,’ she tweeted along with a photo of CD booklets and one of her cats.

The singer and songwriter is dotty about her pet kitties, who are named Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button.

Swift also shared that there might be ‘the aromatic scent of white wine’ in the package because she occasionally spilled her glass during this round of autographs.
