Neha is a writer and mother of 3 beautiful cats. From a person who feared cats to now, her transformation is remarkable. Neha’s love of cats began with Mira and continues to grow stronger every day. Today she can’t think of a life without her rescues and wonders why she was ever scared. Neha dreams of owning a farmhouse with lots of space to run a shelter for stray cats someday.

While Divya has converted most of her family to cat lovers, she attributes this to her first cats Jugni and Bagheera. Thanks to them, she can never unsee another cat again. Formerly rescuing cats, Divya now feeds strays in her locality, tends to their medical needs and neuters them. When she is not drawing, she is reading about cat wellbeing and natural remedies for cat health issues.

Bagheera, a grandfather cat by nature, has had a part in nurturing all new kittens that have come into our life. His love for kittens is only second to his love for his sister Jugni and fish. Bagheera is sometimes seen stealing his human’s undies and zooming across the house with them. He loves watching his human, play wrestling with Bodhi and troubling his sister Jugni. He enjoys interactive string play and disapproves when his human has too much work and no time to play.

Jugni is headstrong, independent and the queen of the household. At 3 weeks old Jugni took on the mothers role to her sibling Bagheera, preening him, teaching him the ways of cat life and to trust their human. Jugni likes spending time alone or with her human, sitting among the plants, playing with tape balls, chasing Bodhi, sunbathing and watching the world. She thinks her human is her personal cat tree and sometimes scales her with unbelievable ease. 

Akki is the buddy cat. Right from a young age, she could befriend any cat even if they were initially aggressive with her. She is still trying to befriend Zuzu.  Akki is an active little cat who never gives up, especially on food. When she’s not eating, she is stalking insects, meticulously calculating their demise, destroying all forms of paper and cardboard and finding random little trinkets to play with. 

Bodhi came into our lives malnourished and suffering from a severe upper respiratory infection when he was a wee babe. All grown up but still dealing with the aftermath of the infection, his zest for life is unparalleled. Bodhi is a crow chatterer, lizard torturer and insect hunter extraordinaire. Despite being overweight, Bodhi zooms like the Flash and has been known to catch insects with a single paw.
