According to India Today, the feline’s new designation came after a commuter shared a post asking the metro operator to give the station’s resident cat an official position. The post quickly caught attention online, and MMMOCL responded by giving the cat a rather impressive job description.
According to the metro operator, the cat’s responsibilities include station inspections, observing commuters and sitting in exactly the right spots where everyone can admire it. And if that wasn’t enough, MMMOCL declared that its performance so far has been “purrfect.”
