** Freddie Mercury was known for being a huge cat lover, which is reflected in the movie by him buying a house and dedicating several rooms for his multiple cats. Creator/RaimiMalek is actually allergic to cats, and so he couldn't be on set with them at any point, hence why Freddie isn't shown physically interacting with his cats at all in the movie.
