Furry Friend: A Life-Changing Teacher


Vishwanath used to be scared of dogs and cats. Just the sight of them would send shivers down his spine. However, it was 2014 when Chinnu changed everything. 

"One day when I came back from the office, my wife told me that she had given milk to a cat when she was passing by. I asked my wife not to feed any cats.


However, a couple of days later, she told me again, and this time I was silent and told her it was okay. Still, I asked her not to allow the cat inside the house as I was scared of cats. After a few days, things changed. The cat gave birth to a kitten, and it was so cute. One day, my wife showed her to me, and although I didn't say anything, I couldn't deny her cuteness," he said. 


After that day, they started observing her, and named her Chinnu. Whenever they switched off the light before sleeping, Chinnu entered their room, hid, and slept under the iron closet, and after a few days, she started sleeping on the bed beside his wife. However, she didn't sleep the whole night; she always looked at the window and alerted them to any noise. 

After that, another male cat started coming to their home but Chinnu got scared of the new cat. However, after two days, Chinnu and the male cat fell in love with each other. 

In fact, Chinnu was so soft, silent, and respectful. However, when she fell in love with the male cat, things changed dramatically. Chinnu was in the heat period, so she made a different noise. 

It was a rainy day, and Chinnu was in heat, and the male cat was outside the grill making noise. She gave birth to four kittens on April 8th, 2018. 


Chinnu raised her kittens and was so dignified; all were cute. They named them as Blacky, Brownie, Cutie, and Bakki. All were unique. Blacky was obedient and always tried to protect his siblings. 

Because of Chinnu, Vishwanath started understanding animals and began feeding dogs, cats, cows, and birds. On top of that, he stopped eating non-veg because he started seeing every animal as living person. 


Her influence extended beyond their home, leading them to connect with veterinarians, doctors, police officers, and other animal lovers in the community. All things are connected to the butterfly effect theory, and all of this happened because of Chinnu.
