The funny interview also included Awkwafina’s cat. She recalled an incident where she found out that her cat pees in the commode. Ellen was astonished to find out about this and enquired whether Awkwafina has trained the cat. But to this, the actor replied that she has never taught and she herself was surprised when one day she walked in on her pet cat peeing in the toilet by himself. Furthermore, she funnily explains how her cat cannot go for number two as he loses his balance over the commode. The audience, as well as Ellen, cracked at Awkwafina’s anecdotes.
