1. Pudding, Cupcake, Latte & King – BamBam (GOT7)

BamBam is a huge cat lover, as you can see from the fact that he has four of them! He once said that he speaks to his cats in Korean so that they’re able to understand when other people, like veterinarians, talk to them!

2. Nora, Koonta, Odd, Berry & Cake – Jay B (GOT7)

Jay B might have more cats than any other idol! He has five beautiful cat companions, and spends a big chunk of his day cleaning up after them to make sure they live comfortably.

Jeno has three cats! Jeno and Bongsik have been together since Jeno’s pre-debut days, and he adopted Seol and Nal soon after. Unfortunately, Jeno is allergic to cats and spending time away from them has only made his tolerance weaken. Nevertheless, he loves his cats to pieces.
