What is the name of Bluey's mother?

The story behind the answer

What is the name of Bluey's mother? Her name is Chilli.

Chilli Heeler is a red heeler and the mother of Bluey and Bingo. She is married to Bandit, and the family’s everyday life—at home, outdoors and around Brisbane—forms the heart of the series. Chilli is often the practical, observant parent, but she also joins the children’s imaginative games.

Chilli’s work in airport security is mentioned in the series, giving her a role outside the home and reinforcing Bluey’s broader depiction of family life. Her maiden name is Cattle, linking her to Grandad Mort and Aunt Brandy. This is why viewers may also encounter the name Chilli Cattle in family-history discussions.

A common mix-up is confusing Chilli with Trixie or Frisky. Trixie is Stripe’s wife, while Frisky is Bluey’s godmother and Radley’s partner. Chilli is specifically Bluey’s mum, and her voice is performed by Melanie Zanetti.
