This is not the first time Felix has been involved in a video that leaves netizens questioning the intent of the fan. Previously, a fan has taken their fan call opportunity to tell him he is not their bias. Another time, a fan has referred to themselves as his “dessert.”

Watch the full video from the cat incident below.
What did i just see…used your fancalls moment to ask idol to do animal and act only like an animal it’s weird. Tf is this ? They’re human, ask human question, don’t treat them like an animal just because you think that they’re cute or look like a kitty. pic.twitter.com/bm8yJawnGv
