Father Bheema was an accountant in a bank. Mother Anita was a lecturer in a college. Their daughter Savitri was studying in a Convent. Bheema and Anitha were very intelligent and hard working. They had a cat named Fantush. It was very intelligent. Every day it was helping them by bringing small items like milk, curds, ginger, butter etc from a nearby shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day Bheema was transferred to Sikindrabad for his promotion. Bheema felt bad that he had to leave his family. At the same time, he was happy to get promotion. Bheema was travelling to Hyderabad on weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day Anita\u2019s mother Sulochana came to visit them. She brought sweets and snacks for Anita and her family. Sulochna asked \u201ccan I stay with you all for a few days\u201d. \u201cOh yes mummy you can stay with us as long as you like\u201d said Anita. Anita introduced her mother to Fantush and told her about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day Anitha had to go to her colleague\u2019s wedding. She told fantush \u201ctoday I may come late, you please take care of my mother\u201d. As night fell Fantush heard a soft sound near the window. He quietly went in and saw some strangers in the house. He thought they were hiding inside the house and were calling others for help. Fantush saw Sulochana tied to the bed and cotton stuffed in her mouth. He looked here and there, and got an oil packet. He spilled the oil on his way and observed them quietly. They opened the cupboard, took all the valuable items and started to escape. On the way everybody fell down and broke their legs. Fantush saw Sulochana\u2019s mobile under the pillow. He messaged the police.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cdnimageserver.co.in\/cdn.php?src=https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/52610422518_dded59241f_o_d.jpg&amp;width=1600&amp;height=1600\" alt=\"\" width=\"557\" height=\"557\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Cat Printed T-Shirt for RS 363<\/strong><br>https:\/\/www.chandamama.com\/index.php?route=product\/product&amp;product_id=42568<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Immediately the police came and arrested the robbers, took them to the station.

The signal turned red. The cats were very happy. Fantush and qwan qwan cried \u201cwe have done it\u201d. The driver was confused. He suddenly stopped the train. All the people were surprised. They thought \u201cwhy is this train stopping here. This is an express train. it should stop only in the next station. What happened today\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The driver called the other station to find out what is wrong? Why has the signal turned red without anybody\u2019s presence? The guard in the other station was surprised. He thought \u201cthere is something wrong in the system\u201d. He sent one of his assistants to check. He reported \u201cthe track is damaged between the two stations\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people got down from the train to see who has changed the signal. They saw four cats under the pillar.

There they were surprised. Immediately police called Anitha and said \u201ccome hear to see Fantush. What a fantastic work he has done\u201d! Anitha didn\u2019t understand anything. She asked \u201cfrom where are you calling? What happened to my Fantush\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police said, \u201cYour Fantush is fine. You come to the railway station right away and see what a brilliant work he has done! He has saved more then a hundred lives today. Anitha with surprise \u201cwhat\u201d! \u201cYes! Yes!
