"My guess is that most people won't even see the Photoshopped cats in the scenes because the rest of it is so lurid," Baskin, who became a household name after Netflix's Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness docuseries aired, wrote in a statement to Billboard.

It didn't look like the cats were really in the rooms with the singers.

In fact, probably most of the rooms were Photoshopped in via green screen.".

"That being said, you have to pose a wildcat in front of a green screen to get that image and that doesn't happen in the wild," she pointed out about the scenes with a cheetah and a tiger in "WAP.".

Baskin continued: "It can't happen in sanctuaries like ours where cats have plenty of room to avoid a green screen (or would shred it if offered access and could die from ingesting it).

That tells me they probably dealt with one of the big cat pimps, who makes a living from beating, shocking and starving cats to make them stand on cue in front of a green screen in a studio.

While I think most are destroyed behind closed gates at that point, some end up being given away to people who want to have a tiger to show off.
