Billu Bhai, the Cat of the Day
Name: Billu Bhai
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Persian Cat
Home: Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
 
   Billu Bhai was given to us by a friend who couldn't move overseas (out of the US) with a cat and we happily adopted him. He is what they call a Doll-face Persian He's been a part of our little family since early 2010, so much so that my mom calls him our half-baby (since we don't have any kids yet!). What makes Billu unique is that he responds to both English and Urdu (official language of Pakistan). We'll say "Billu, aajao," with a hand gesture to come to us, and he'll make his way over (depending on his mood of course). His favorite Urdu sentence is obviously when we ask if he wants to eat: "Billu, khaana khaayein?" And he'll come running over and probably let us know with a meow or two that he's huuuuuunnnngry and we just asked him the best question ever! He loves cuddling with my husband, Sameer, at night especially when we're sleeping, but in the morning when he's starving, he'll lightly tap my face or arm and I can usually feel him breathing on my face while standing on my stomach. That's his way of saying, "I'ma wake you up before your alarm clock because I need to get my grub on!"

    Weird facts about Billu Bhai: he loves olive oil & the smell of chocolate (drools when he smells it but we obviously don't feed it to him). Billu Bhai shows his affection towards me in a more subtle, quiet and sometimes sneaky way with a nose-to-nose touch, whereas with Sameer, it's all about fun and games and play. He's the love of our lives and we cherish every moment that we get to spend with him at home.

    If you are wondering about his name, Billu Bhai (or Brother Billu if I translated his name to English; Billy = cat in Urdu, Billu is sort of a catty nickname eh? :)!
