The New South Wales Police Force in Australia recruited Troop Cat Ed, a 2-year-old tabby.
The purple jacket-wearing kitten spends his days patrolling the stables on high alert for pests in support of the police department’s mounted unit, but Ed appears to be most frequently photographed in the middle of a cat nap, or checking out a bird on the window sill when he’s supposed to be on duty.
The troop cat was recently under fire after a video surfaced of him sleeping on the job, while rats freely roamed the stables nearby.
