In a surprising turn of events, a pet cat belonging to renowned film director Swapna Joshi became the unexpected hero of the night, alerting her to a thief's entry into her sixth-floor apartment in Mumbai.


According to reports from multiple news outlets, the break-in occurred around 3 AM. The thief, believed to be a local, managed to bypass the building's main security by scaling the exterior pipes to reach Joshi’s sixth-floor balcony, an astonishing feat given the height. He then entered the home through an unlocked window.


As the thief moved stealthily through the home, Joshi's pet cat, known for its sharp instincts, sensed the intruder's presence. The cat began hissing and making loud noises, alerting the members of the household, who were asleep in their rooms.

Awakened by the unusual sounds, Joshi’s family quickly realized that someone had broken into the home. Startled by the cat's commotion, the thief panicked and made a swift exit. Joshi immediately contacted the local authorities to report the break-in.


Police are currently investigating the incident and reviewing CCTV footage from the building to identify the intruder. Meanwhile, the story of Joshi's courageous cat has garnered attention on social media, with many praising the feline for its protective instincts.


This incident serves as a reminder that sometimes, even our furry companions can play a crucial role in keeping us safe.
