Katy Perry has bought a "swine flu" ring.

The 'I Kissed A Girl' singer bought the jewellery - adorned with a flying pig emblem - following the outbreak of the potentially-fatal disease which originated in Mexico.

She wrote on her blog: "Since swine flu is super trendy I wanted to make sure I was in style with my swine flu ring!

"I got this one in Miami at Big Drop the other day... a flying piggy."

The singer is so interested in the potential pandemic she has even been discussing the subject with her pet cat Kitty Purry - but admits the feline is not as interested in the virus.

She added: "Kitty Purry was telling me the other night that she remembers when bird flu was in and now pig flu is cool and she wonders when kitty flu is going to hit as she would like to be more popular than she currently already is. Fame whore."
