Mort Cattle, also known as Grandad, is a secondary character who first appeared in the episode of the same name.
Bluey.tv Description[]
Mort is Chilli’s dad and Bluey and Bingo’s grandad. After a life in the army, he has since retired to a life of canoeing, bush walking, and eating curried sausages.
Mort hasn’t kept up with technology over the past couple of decades and is still surprised that “this internet thing has really taken off!”.
Mort knows that kids haven’t changed, though, and he is very good at playing games with Bluey and Bingo. He’ll even cheekily throw a stuffed crocodile into the game just to spice things up!
Mort loves his family and one of his favourite memories is playing at the lake with his daughter Chilli. He remembers their time together like it was yesterday.[1]
Appearance[]
Mort has an appearance similar to Chilli with what appears to be white spots on the back, arms, and tail with even more white spots in the stomach, legs, and nose.
He is always seen wearing a green fisherman's hat with two dark green buttons on it. However, in "Phones", he wears a green fedora with two dark green buttons on it (similar to his first hat) and a black band.
Biography[]
Mort is Brandy and Chilli's father, Bandit's father-in-law and Bluey and Bingo's maternal grandfather. He served in the army when he was younger, and had a heart operation to remove worms some time before the events of “Grandad”.
Mort enjoys the ocean, owning his own boat and taking Chilli and his granddaughters swimming. Chilli recalls that he has taken her swimming since she was a young girl, and he remembers these trips so vividly, he describes them as taking place "yesterday".
He seems to be very active despite his old age, since when the doctors put him on bed rest following his surgery, he disobeyed. This also demonstrates that he's a bit stubborn, and according to his neighbour Maynard, he commonly thinks things should be up to him.
Trivia[]
- In Bedroom, it is revealed that he forgot about Bingo's birth, and didn't give her a Christmas present as a result.
- He and Stripe are the only charcters that refer to Chilli as "Chilli Dog."
