I love kitties, but can’t see them being nearly as useful as dogs.
In fact...can’t see they’d be very useful at all.

"Cats' claws are razor sharp, so it makes for a good defense mechanism not only for the cat but for their handler as well," said Radmall. "A young, healthy cat can jump over eight feet in a single bound so if an enemy approaches a cat, the cat will be able to jump on him and either disable him, or claw him to death if he fails to stop resisting capture."

I read this to my kitty who just woke up from one of her mid morning naps.
She says its actually the Navy that will employing kitties to make sure all fishes taste delicious and are not spoiled. If kitteh walks away after smelling throw fishy out.
I also have it on cat authority that the next new sub will be christened after Tardar Sauce, Aka Grumpy.

They are very useful if you have problems with vermin. Also very useful if you’ve had a hard day and need something to cuddle.

Good pick, cats have a normal body temperature of 101.6°F, my Ragdoll keeps me nice and toasty.
