Gay Cats Ahoy!

At first Bagheera's mother has only heard about Shere Khan from Bagheera. She was a little weary due to the class difference between families, but as Bagheera continues to tell her all about the tiger cub day after day, she welcomes the odd lil friendship between her son and the other cub.

When Khan does finally meet Mama 'Gheera he acts like a total gentleman (which gets a quick side-eye from Bagheera). As time goes on he becomes comfortable enough to have his usual banter with Bagheera in front of her, giving her a full view of their friendship. She is smart enough to see where this friendship could lead to, but she knows what animals like Shere Khans parents expects from the cub and how things would end. Despite all the arguments, fights and the eventual emotional goodbyes, she is glad Bagheera had a friend like Shere Khan in his life

Bagheera meeting Shere Khan's grandmother was an accident. After Hathi, Khan tried his hardest to keep the other cubs from ever seeing her mainly due to how chaotic they can be. On the rare occasion of Bagheera being brought to the Khan manor (making sure both of his parents were out) he forgot that his grandmother was visiting that day too. Much to the cub's horror, after grabbing some tea he found the two looking at baby photos of him while his grandmother told tales of his family. Bagheera of course promised not to tell anyone.

Grandma Khan enjoys Bagheera's company. One time she did managed to eavesdrop on their banter and was pleasantly surprised how comfortable Bagheera was with Khan to talk back at him. Children similar in status of the Khans would usually try to suck up to them, but not this cub. It made her approve of the friendship much more.

She would often ask Khan how his panther friend was doing whenever they meet up. Despite Shere Khan trying be nonchalant about the other cub, she can see how much he cares about him. Which saddened her when Khan refused to talk about Bagheera once he moved schools.
