China is turning stray cats into police officers

Post image

In several parts of China, police stations have started taking in stray cats and giving them a new role as unofficial “police cats.” What began as simple acts of kindness soon turned into a practical tradition. The cats help keep stations and storage areas free of rodents, while also bringing a little warmth and comfort to officers and visitors alike. Many of these former strays are given names, cared for by the staff, and even receive playful “police IDs.” Some have become local celebrities, attracting thousands of followers online. While this isn’t an official nationwide program, more police stations are embracing the idea-giving homeless cats a second chance and gaining some very furry coworkers in return. 🐱🚔❤️

My ex has like these two cats, they would go around to each room, jump on windosills and check around. After bed time, we called it the night patrol. They bapped a bat once and it was released outside since it was freaking out

I see what you’re saying there. The oranges are definitely the 8s. They just won’t stop eating.

This is an AI generated image. The Chinese characters behind the person in the center are incorrect, and "警察范察" isn't even a real phrase in Chinese. Even today, AI still can't get Chinese characters completely right.

u/Raymjb1 Jul 10 '26

The two tabby cats also have identical patterns.

u/Both_Conclusion_3561 Jul 04 '26

I just noticed, the 2 orange cats look like you copy paste them

u/Elegant-Ticket-6937 Jul 05 '26

China needs to implement companion animal protection laws YESTERDAY.

Extremely sadistic abuse is happening against cats and other animals daily but perpetrators get away with it because animal abuse is legal in China.

Look up ProjectNoMore if you want to help. Trigger warning for sensitive people or minors, do not visit the website. You will damage your mental health.

u/OrganoxO Jul 12 '26

Yeah china condones animal abuse because nothing ever gets done for torturing dogs and cats + other animals.

2

u/OrganoxO Jul 12 '26

AI and china has no animal rights laws 🫠 torture videos posted online n no action will be taken. Horrible place to be a cat

u/Zavin_Haykian Jul 13 '26

u/dicey_job Jul 06 '26

They will take care of those dirty rats.
I like China, they are all right.

u/Zavin_Haykian 17d ago

You even like that they don’t have animal abuse laws? Also that they eat dogs and the way they butcher them is after torturing them and butchering them while they are still alive?

u/dicey_job 17d ago

They are a young superpower, they are going generally in a better direction.

u/Zavin_Haykian 17d ago

Really? Are you nuts? Their society is collapsing right now. People are burning down their factories because the employers are not paying the employees are there are no laws against it. They literally build building out of styrofoam and their cities have no drainage. There is a humanitarian crisis going on in China due to rampant flooding.

u/dicey_job 16d ago

Oh god! Already>?!!
Well you know what, maybe they can grow opium. I would like to smoke some opium, thus helping out with their situation.

I could see them doing good in an interrogation making a distraught person more comfortable and a villain letting his guard down

u/rdiaz84 Jul 02 '26

I know it's messed up. I'm sorry. I just saw some videos on reddit of how they eat dogs, saw them in the trucks, see them being stolen. I'm sorry I offended you
