A ginger cat that patrols the entrance of Mumbai Metro Line 7's Gundavali station has earned an honorary title as the city's Chief Feline Officer (CFO). The Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Ltd (MMMOCL) announced the appointment, jokingly assigning the feline duties such as station inspections and observing commuters. Perched near the entrance, the cat's calm demeanor has become a source of comfort for weary passengers.
Commuter Sandesh Samant sparked the idea after photographing the cat and jokingly asking MMMOCL to designate an official role for the unpaid guardian. While the title was created in jest, MMMOCL confirmed that the cat appears to take its duties seriously. The presence of stray animals at the stations has not raised concerns among commuters, and animal welfare advocates welcomed the gesture, calling it a positive story involving an urban stray.
