Most people claim to be either cat lovers or dog lovers, and there’s a never-ending debate on which animal makes the better companion (let us know your pick in the comments below). This fact talks about cat lovers – people who admire felines’ independence and adore each whisker on their furry little faces. There have been many famous cat lovers in history: Albert Einstein, Marie Antoinette, Edgar Allen Poe, and even the Pope himself to name a few. One person in particular, Freddie Mercury of Queen, made his adoration of cats common knowledge.
While on tour, Mercury would frequently call his home in London to talk to his fur babies (our source doesn’t mention whether or not he talked to them in meows or English, however.) His song “Delilah” on Queen’s Album “Innuendo” was about his cat of the same name, and he even dedicated his first solo album “Mr. Bad Guy” to his fluffy little companions Tom, Jerry, Oscar, Tiffany, Delilah, Goliath, Miko, Romeo, and Lily.
