These furry friends of your will make sure to cheer you up. They may not be able to have conversations with you in your language but that doesn’t mean they don’t understand things.

BIG thank you from Eddie and I, for the 18M love ? Soo grateful! Hey does this make me an adult? Like an insta-dult? Haha this sense of humour just lost me some followers ?

Alia Bhatt got her cat, Edward Bhatt, as a birthday gift. Alia loves the white feline and Edward has a number of posts dedicated to him on Alia’s Instagram profile. Talking about Edward, Alia had said in an interview with Hindustan times, “I love to show him off. I’m super personal with my social media accounts, especially Instagram, so I love showing people how cute he is. I mean, look how cute! My friends say I’m a little crazy as at times I actually just sit and keep looking at him. But that’s because I love him so much. He’s my baby, and what’s wrong with being obsessed with your own baby?”

Be kind to every kind! #internationalcatday #letscoexist ??

It was Alia’s elder sister Shaheen who introduced them to cats. “Shaheen used to rescue stray cats from our building and around, and bring them home. We used to give them up for adoption. Sometimes, we kept them because we got so attached to them. So, I always had these little pets around me as a child,” Alia said in an interview with HT.
