Minchu cat, Mangaluru's latest internet darling, owns a home now

Mangaluru: In the heart of Mangaluru, a furry white feline named Minchu has captured the city's heart, and the internet's too. Once a regular fixture outside Fiza by Nexus Mall in Pandeshwar, where she would rest near the steps, Minchu now has a permanent and pampered spot to call her own—a cosy little house built just for her. Minchu's transformation from a street-side resident to a viral sensation happened almost overnight. Her new home, set up recently, has become a hit on social media, with videos of the relaxed cat lounging comfortably drawing thousands of views and shares. "The cat has found comfort, safety, and belonging here. She may be small, but her presence has brought immense joy to our community. We are glad we could do our little bit to make her feel welcome, because at the end of the day, it is these small gestures of care that truly reflect the soul and spirit of our mall," said Arvind Shrivastav, senior centre director of Fiza by Nexus Mall.

"We watched people stop by, play with her, feed her, and click pictures. When the rains started, we saw her struggling to find shelter. That is when we decided it was time to do something special for her," she said. It turns out that Minchu has fans who have gone the extra mile for her.

She does not leave her spot; she owns it," said the mall employee.
