Chilli's Mum is a minor character in Bluey. She was the wife of Mort Cattle and the mother of both Brandy Cattle and Chilli Heeler.
Bluey.tv Description
Chilli’s Mum is a red heeler like her daughters, Chilli and Brandy, and husband, Mort.
Sadly, Bluey and Bingo don’t remember ever meeting their maternal grandma – but Chilli tells them about her one day when the Heelers use their artistic skills to create a story about dragons, motorbikes, carnivorous trees – and one interesting looking donkey.
Turns out Chilli is a pretty good drawer, which she attributes to her mum’s encouraging words. When she was a little girl, Chilli could never draw her horses quite like the pictures. But her mum egged her on, telling her she’d get better if she just kept practicing.[1]
Biography
Two photographs of her during her lifetime would later hang in the Heeler Family's House foyer. One was an image of her with her husband and a young Brandy and Chilli. The other showed her alone on horseback.[2] As a present for one of her birthdays, Brandy and Chilli made up a dance involving the two of them that they performed for her.[3]
A loving mother, Chilli's Mum was both honest and encouraging. She agreed with a seven-year old Chilli’s assessment that her horse drawing didn’t match the one she was copying from. However, she also complimented Chilli on the talent she had developed. Chilli would later share this experience with her own daughter Bluey Heeler, who didn’t recognize her grandmother when Chilli drew her. This, coupled with Chilli referring to her mother in the past tense, indicated that she had passed away some time previously.[4]
