Actress Jessie Buckley has clarified that she is a “lover of cats” following a heated backlash from feline fans who were upset that she said she did not like them in a previous interview.

Appearing on Jimmy Fallon’s US chat show on Thursday, Buckley said she even auditioned to be a cat once, and it was a “misconception” that she hated the animals.
