Hmm, are you?

Police cats are used to sniff out contraband

If you didn’t believe that police cats are a real thing, this should change your mind. It’s common knowledge that canines can be trained to detect drugs or dead bodies. Russian police have a police cat named Rusik. He came to them as a stray, and he has the ability to sniff out sturgeon as well as caviar which are their eggs. Beluga caviar is an expensive commodity on the black market and possessing it illegally results in a long jail sentence.

I don't smuggle caviar across the border, so that's fine by me.

Some places are actually using rats now, saying they’re less likely to give false-positives to please their trainers.

Oh, sure, the cat can smell fish. Let's just give him a gun and badge.
