Freddie Mercury and His Cats

- If you’re a big Freddie Mercury fan, you probably already know how much the Queen singer adored his four-legged pets. And if you're just beginning to learn about the legend's personal life, this is just another reason to love him. The biopic Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) captures Mercury's doting cat dad moments, showing how at one point he even ended up living in a mansion filled with as many as 10 cats at a time. The film does give fans a good idea of how much cats meant to him, but it turns out that Freddie Mercury’s cats played an even larger role in his real life.
In his memoir Mister Mercury, Mercury’s live-in personal assistant Peter Freestone wrote about how much the singer cared about his cats. “He’d get to a hotel, we’d dial through and he really would talk to his cats,” writes Freestone. “Mary [Austin] would hold Tom and Jerry in turn up to the receiver to listen to Freddie talking. This continued throughout the years with succeeding feline occupants of his houses.” In fact, Mercury dedicated his liner notes in his 1985 solo album Mr. Bad Guy specifically to Jerry, also mentioning the other cats. It reads, “This album is dedicated to my cat Jerry-also Tom, Oscar, and Tiffany and all the cat lovers across the universe-screw everybody else!”
Mary Austin, who was Mercury’s girlfriend at the time, had bought him the pair of cats in the early ‘70s while they were together. According to The Telegraph, the pair remained close long after their romantic relationship dissolved, with Austin often housesitting for Mercury and taking care of the cats. Years after giving him Tom and Jerry, she gifted him another cat: Tiffany, a longhaired bluepoint. But, as the ultimate cat dad, Mercury couldn’t stop at just three cats. After Tiffany came Oscar, who initially belonged to one of his partners, but the singer decided to keep him. The Telegraph also noted that Mercury loved rescuing cats from the Blue Cross shelter. This included Miko, Romeo, Lily, and Goliath.
Mercury loved them all, but his love for them didn’t match what he felt for his absolute favorite: Delilah. He adopted her in 1987, and the tabby swiftly stole his heart. The Queen singer loved her so much that in Innuendo, the band’s last album before Mercury’s death, he dedicated a song and named it after her. At first, it seems like a love song, as Mercury sings about her being irresistible and making him smile. But it quickly shifts to specifying mischievous cat things she does, like biting and clawing when she’s moody, and peeing all over his Chippendale suit.
He also proudly showed his appreciation towards his cats by wearing a waistcoat covered in cats for the 1991 video for “These Are the Days of Our Lives,” which ended up being Queen’s last music video. The Telegraph reported that his friend Donald McKenzie created it for Mercury, painting his cats on it. Mercury was fiercely devoted to his cats till his death. From his lyrics and tales by friends, it’s clear that his cats brought him joy even during the toughest times, showing that dogs don't have the monopoly on being man's best friend.

Honestly Freddie Mercury is amazing, I’m happy he was a cat person 😂
Who couldn't be a cat person... cats are soooo cool all animals are but cats are my favourite to
@@scorpion4201 yes I love doggies to I love every animal in the world..but like freddie cats my #1 my cats are georgie and freddie lol
Me too dear! My cat,Tyson,is my best friend in life as I've met some total cunts in life who masquerade as human beings but are infact total shits and cunts but my cat offers me unconditional love and affection so I'm happy to call him my best friend! 🙂
Cats are my favourite too sadly I lost mine six months ago. I'm currently going through the process of adopting rescue cats and I'm seriously thinking about naming one Freddie if I get a boy cat lol
Freddie's cats were like his children....🐈
Delilah was his favorite cat,it's great to know that Freddie such a talented music genius had a big heart for cats,because time spend with cats is nevet wasted.
What happened she didn't sell the cats with everything else that belonged to him
“Do a backwards flip” 😂
That wasn't even freddie
Idiot_ on_the_internet I never said it was freddie. I just quoted the video. :)
"Or a Latin dance"
Ray M. Lawliet or an acid dance xD
“Or a Latin dance”
I can very much understand how much Freddie Mercury loved his cats. My cats are my fur children. They are the best companions ever. Rip Freddie and rip to all his cats. May they rest in peace together forever.
Rest in peace Freddy ..and also your cats will be with you 💓🐈😇💋💋💋

If only Freddie had lived long enough to post photos of his cats on Instagram
I adore my cats too, they can brighten my day the way nobody else can. Happy to see Freddie with his fur babies. Miss yah Freddie! ❤
Умница,талант,красавчик.Спи спокойно,мы тебя любим.
Now this is strange: When I played " Delilah" for the very first time, my little tomcat Leonardo got very excited. Normally he does not care a fig about the music I am listening to but I have never ever seen him getting so excited about a song. He is also a tabby 😸
Real men love cats 🐱 Mister Mercury was a helluva man.
We miss you Freddy.
Hope you are enjoying great time in heaven with all the kittis 😻
He sure loved his cats what a sweetheart 💖 I love cats too I must say ❤
I’ve always loved Freddie. Love him even more now ❤️🤛
Just saw Bohemian Rhapsody. I love cats and I love Freddie. Miss him sooo much. This made me cry 😭 as it shows how beautiful of a person he was. RIP
Фредди имел огромную, добрую душу и сердце!!! Но столько в жизни натерпелся, что открывать их стал только очень близким и проверенным людям, и, конечно, животным. Люблю Фредди!!! Ты, Фред, самый лучший из мужчин!!! 💓🤴👑🎼🎤🌈♾️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Happy 75th Birthday, Freddie! No matter where you are!🥰
Freddie loved his cats,well looked after just like himself
Cats are the best companions in the world. The most loyal and constant companions imagineable. I am proud to be a mom to many fur babies and completely understand why he loved his cats.
Oh my god Delilah is playing in the background
"Do a backwards flip, or a latin dance" 😂😂
It's laicd dance
Cats are wonderful animals 💖💖💖🐱🐈
Lovely video (except for the photoshopped one of Freddie sitting in a lavatory. 😒😟) What folks may NOT know it's that the Disney Corporation were actually seriously planning a short animated film about Delilah. Freddie even had a film cell of the intended animated depiction of Delilah framed and hung on his wall. Sadly it did not come to fruition.😢, You have to love a man who loves cats! 😊😻
R.i.p you are my favorite Freddie Mercury
I love him not only because he was an amazing musician but he loved cats. Beautiful kitties Freddie ❤❤
I love cats ! they are my favourite animal
I love cats, too. I have five. My husband had to reign me in and tell me no more lol.
I love cats too, you know they lived a charmed life.
Не могу сдержать улыбки когда смотрю фото Фредди с его питомцами😊 Я сама ужасная кошатница и мне всегда так приятно видеть вот такую любовь к кошкам😻 И безумно приятно, что такой великий человек, как Фредди Меркьюри, был большим любителем пушистиков😺😻
У меня дома постоянно живут 2 кошки. Я их обожаю, Фредди я люблю очень давно и преданно, но только недавно узнал о его любви к кошкам! Фредди самый добрый и чудесный человек и музыкант!!!
Точно!!!
Maravilhoso!!!
Я тоже , кошатница,у меня 9 и сегодня еще прибавился один,,,выловила котенка, его маму задрали собаки, месяца полтора назад, осталось 2 масеньких котенка,,,дикие, ужасно были, выживали как могли, а позавчера одного из них опять собаки задрали, один остался,ходил две ночи плакал,я не выдержала, разобьюсь,думаю, но поймаю,,,и поймала, и теперь у меня 10,,,а про то что Фредди любил кошек, тоже недавно узнала, и за это еще больше его обожаю, он мой кумир,,,
@@user-wn7cm8ix7i 😊👍🌹
They ate precious, beautiful kitty cats !
Обожаю его за любовь к кошкам, я сама всегда с ними
This made me love him a bit more 😞thank you
Im watching this and kissing the head of my cat, Magoo, my best friend and my son who I love more than life
Freddie was the king of cat lovers
I love Freddy Mercury and all the cats😻👏😍
His love for cats really confirmed what a lovely and caring person he was. Most men prefer dogs........and it's unusual for them to get attached to cats. It makes me love him even more.
Cats take patience and compromise. Too many men don't understand either of those. But Freddie was no ordinary man!
I love people who love cats. They are the most caring and loving people. I don't like nor do I trust anyone who hates animals.
@@wendyfiolek5914 Agreed. I could never trust anyone who is unkind to animals, especially cats!
@@wendyfiolek5914 I feel the same way.
There's many many men out there that love cats.ive seen many men in the pet isle in the supermarket buying cat food❤️❤️❤️❤️
Freddie and cat lover forever.

Dolce Freddie ha dedicato una canzone alla sua gatta preferita 😘
Si ma ti chiedo, ti sembra che la foto seduto sul cesso possa essere reale?
la foto sul cesso 😂😂😂😂
@@gioarmatage6127 è un fotomontaggio anche fatto male
Si vede la sensibilità d'animo che aveva e che nascondeva in pubblico trasformandosi nell'irriverente Frontman dei Quenn
@@oasiprogressiva Quella foto potevano evitarlo , FREDDIE perdonali
delilah! 😻

Ah ah ah..lovely.
Adopt a cat to honor Freddie's memory! Time spent with a cat is never wasted. :)
This made me cry a litte.... But it's so cute!
I love this video. Freddie loves 💘 his Cats and I don't blame him. I have 2 dogs and 3 Cats. I can appreciate 😌 how Freddie loved his. Miss him.

Freddie's personal chef Joe gave him Goliath and dalialah. Jim Freddie's partner gifted him lily and Romeo. And marry gifted him miko.

Mi piace,,,, bella anch'io amo i gatti,,,, ❤🎉😊
Delilah:"a backword flip?! Oh, no! I m too lazy for that. You do one if you want! Get of the bed Fred!"
😂😂😂
Tiffany 🧡🧡🧡
Mici meravigliosi di questo straordinario cantante morto troppo presto
猫を飼うならデライラにしようと思いつつ呼びにくそうでいつも違う名前です。
唄声は迫力あるけど、猫に話しかけてる声は凄く優しい。
The reason why Delilah tried to answer his telephone is probobly cause he called home when he was away and he talked th them. So she allways thought that Daddy is caling.
meowww!
כואב הלב איזה איש מקסים
Oggi è la giornata internazionale dedicata ai gatti. Se ci fosse Freddy sicuramente avrebbe festeggiato con i suoi amici e amorevoli gatti. Gli dedico un pensiero che arrivi su in cielo
Cats are the most amazing beigns on Earth
Freddie era anche lui un gattone sornione..😽😽😽😽fidatevi..
I take milk rings and hair ties and shoot them down the hallway and my cat brings them back
My girl steals the hairties and hoards them under the bed! But she does bring back her little foam ball, so I can throw it again.
@@neuralmute that's so cute now my sweetie likes me to shoot the hair ties and she jumps in the air and catches them she'd make a great goalie
@@rynnykitty6945 My lil' Molly does that too! She just never gives them back! XD
@@neuralmute my cats know they are cute and their sweet meows my heart melts and I spoil them I can't help it but just love them up
My cat loves to play with plastic water bottle lids. He goes crazy for them.
