Mother's Day marks a special day to celebrate the women who love, care and nurture in ways beyond visible to the eye. Every mother deserves immense respect and acknowledgement for their countless sacrifices and unending love. On this special occasion, Kubbra Sait, a pet mom, tells mid-day what it is like to be a mother to her two cats, Shifu, a Persian cat, and Sexyy Sait, a Siamese. 

Kubbra Sait on being a pet mom

When asked what it is like for her to be a pet mom, Kubbra speaks of her babies with utmost admiration and awe. She says the word "mom" just more naturally to her when it comes to her cats. She says, "Shifu, my thirteen-year-old white Persian with the most piercing blue eyes you’ve ever seen, didn’t come into my life so I could have a pet. He came, so now I have a child. PERIOD. I also got Sexyy Sait, who is a three-year-old Siamese cat. Someone once told me quite seriously, quite spiritually, that perhaps my purpose on this earth is to keep my cat alive. And I thought about it, and I thought, 'Yeah. That is it! That’s all I have to do.' That’s what I am doing."
