"People always say dogs are man's best friend but I've never seen a cat working for the cops."

Cats can be trained just like dogs. Most people just prefer them to be feral lil monsters so they never do. iirc they are especially good at sniffing out dead bodies and animal parts which is pretty useful for cops.
