Queen s lead singer is actually a super cat lover. When on tour, she never forgets to call her beloved cat.
Speaking of Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen, one will think of his wonderful and legendary life. His recent biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody" swept the Oscars, and the actor who played him, Rami Malek, took home the statuette and won the Best Actor Award. And this also made everyone more curious about this popular music superstar! Foreign websites revealed some anecdotes about Freddie. It turned out that he was also a super cat lover. In his heyday, he had ten cats at home at the same time!
Freddie Mercury and his cat Tiffany were taken in 1988.
His personal assistant Peter Freestone once published Freddie's biography "Mister Mercury: Anappreciation", in which he described the legendary superstar's life as a cat slave. "When he was on tour, he would call home when he returned to the hotel, and then ask Mary (Freddie's girlfriend at the time) to take turns holding the cats Tom and Jerry to listen to the phone. He would really talk to them!" It is said that Freddie has continued this habit since the cats appeared in the house.

Tom and Jerry are the starting point for Freddy to become a cat slave. His girlfriend at the time, Mary, bought them and raised them together. Even after they broke up, their relationship was still very friendly, and Mary would still come to his house from time to time to help take care of the cats. A few years later she gave him a third cat: Tiffany. Freddy, who had a close bond with cats, also began to adopt cats from cat shelters, including Miko, Romeo, Lily and Goliath.
Freddie later adopted many cats.
As a music superstar, Freddie of course also helped write songs for cats. Queen's last album "Innuendo" included a song "Delilah", written for his favorite tabby cat Dalia. The song not only describes how much Freddy loves Dalia, but also writes about some of Dalia’s pranks, which will make cat lovers very emotional once they hear it!
