Happy International Cat Day — Here’s 10+ Of The Cutest Cat And Idol Families In K-Pop
International Cat Day is today, August 8! So in celebration, here’s a list of 12 K-Pop idols and their beloved cats.
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.
Jaebeom talking about how he cleans because of his cats.

5. Seol, Nal & Bongsik – Jeno (NCT)
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.

Ryujin has two cats named Byulie and Dallie! She named them herself. In Korean, byul means star and dal means moon, so these two are a perfect match.

12. Kkoong – Taemin
Taemin adopted Kkoong this past February and their relationship is so cute. She’s a fan-favorite among all the SHINee pets, and understandably so—she’s adorable!
