PET OF THE MONTH

Cookie

We feel proud to introduce you to the India’s fi rst Virtual
Cat Show Winner – Cookie, the Queen. With her playful,
attractive, elegant, and kohl lined green eyes, she has
been the heartthrob of many. Naazneen Shaikh,
her parent, shares with us the journey
of Cookie’s transformation from an
unrecognized ‘Indie Cat’ to a popular and
loved ‘Celebrity Cat’…

WHEN DID COOKIE COME
IN YOUR LIFE?
A two-month old roadside
female kitten was kicked by my
tailor for disturbing him. I bought
milk from nearby tea stall and gave
her. Still she didn’t want me to leave,
and that’s the moment when I picked
her up and brought her home without
thinking that my parents won’t allow
this. For so many days, I used to lock
her in the basket at night, so that my
parents couldn’t see her. She was so
understanding that she used to be
quiet the whole night. This is how my
journey with Cookie began.

HOW COOKIE AND YOU LIKE
TO SPEND TIME WITH EACH
OTHER?
Cookie loves playing with cardboard
boxes, paper balls, though she has so
many toys. We love playing hide and
seek together. Of course, she hides
most of the times. She also loves to
be patted when sleeping, and once
you stop doing that, she will wake
up and look at you. That means more
