"It is a secret.", this was the only response fans, and netizens got from Super Junior member Kim Heechul, after being suspected that he adopted the late Choi Sulli's, Sphynx Kitty.

This arises after seeing a similar cat of the female idol on her previous Instagram account, which looks exactly like on the cat roaming around Kim Heechul during his Instagram live. The cat was seen following him and playing on his bed as well. 

However, this rumor remained as a rumor and was never confirmed by the male superstar. It was a fact that the kitten was adored very much by the late idol, who she always posted in her social media accounts numerous times. 

Meanwhile, in the recent episode of "My Little Old Boy," a variety show broadcasted in SBS, fans, and netizens then started the fire again to this rumor after seeing the cat again during the airing of the show. 
In the episode, Super Junior Kim Heechul portrayed his everyday life. It was then revealed that part of his life's routine is taking care and pampering his pets, such as his dogs and cats. 

At around 1 a.m., after returning from his busy schedules, including hosting variety shows and promoting for Super Junior as well as his personal activities, he would take his dog to a refreshing bath after taking them to walk and afterward, will clean his cat's litter boxes. 

Netizens and viewers then caught something during the broadcast, and it was a cat. Fans and supporters of the Kpop singer have been throwing him the questions and confirmation if he really did adopt Sulli's cat after her passing. 

On the other hand, aside from the videos and photos comparing Kim Heechul's new cat and Sulli's cat as a proof, fans and netizens strongly believe that Heechul really did adopt Sulli's cat for they were also known as very close friends. 

Kim Heechul and Choi Sulli were under the same agency, the SM Entertainment, not until she left the company, after stepping out to her girl group,  f(x) as well. Though, aside from being a colleague, they were definitely close to each other, close to having the brother and younger sister relationship. Despite their 10-year age gap, the two really go along well with each other, so it would not become a shock if Heechul had Sulli's cat.

On the other hand, fands and supporters of Choi Sulli, hope that whoever is the person who has her most loved cat, who she raised with care, is also taking care of her with the same amount of love, or much even better if more than the amount given by her former owner. 

Nevertheless, Kim Heechul, who was also a performer recently have a collaboration with the rising Korean rookie female group ITZY with Lee Soo Geun, releasing their song "White Winter" as a part of SM Entertainment Station X 4 LOVEs for WINTER (2019 SMTOWN Winter) which is a playlist for this holiday season.
