Police cats might soon be a thing thanks to this little girl’s convincing letter

[meow2u3]

Some little girls dream of becoming Princesses. Others dream of movie stardom. And still others dream of a world where cats and dogs can serve side-by-side on the police force. At least that’s what the 5-year-old Eliza Adamson-Hopper dreams of. And, despite her young age, this girl knows how to make her dreams a reality.

After a conversation with her father about police dogs, Eliza asked the very logical question as to whether or not man’s other best furry friend served on the police force. When she found out that there were no felines on the force, she decided to write a letter voicing her concern and making a convincing cat case. She argues that they’re great at hearing for danger, have excellent directional skills, and are excellent climbers who could help people stuck in trees (as they often are themselves).

How do the police pick the kittens to train as police cats? And how would you train the felines anyhow?

1. I think it would be impossible to pick a kitten...

and pet him and not let him go.

5. I think the kittens would be about 3 months old IINM

Much like the puppies trained as future police dogs.

2. You could rub the bad guys in catnip and let the cats loose on them

3. keep a cat in each jail

Let them cruise in and out of the cells. Some prisoners would soften up. Might leave eventually with a softer view of life. Dunno. Just a shot. I have seen both dogs and cats in senior care facilities. The animals do make a difference.
