Let's start off with a deceptively simple question: how many pets does Paris Hilton actually have? We know her dogs live in a luxury Italian villa, and the heiress has dropped serious cash on pets (never forget the $13,000 teacup Pomeranian). There seems to be a never-ending rotation of puppies, kittens, pigs, bunnies, ferrets, monkeys, and even a slow loris, all trotted out on various occasions. If you had that many animals to keep track of, surely you'd want to document their comings and goings with a dedicated Instagram account. Right?

The Velour Tracksuit Queen of Beverly Hills has always been an ardent animal lover and rights activist (although maybe the slow loris was illegal?), but a dedicated social media account is next level. The Hilton Pets bio reads, "Our mom is Paris Hilton. We are the cutest, smartest, coolest, best dressed pets in the world! We love our life! #KillingIt" and then includes a link to Paris's personal lifestyle website (under the guise of being a dedicated Hilton Pets site) so you can buy her perfume after ogling her pooches. Seriously though, how many pets are there? #HiltonPetsConspiracy
