A sweet cat joined the police force and won hearts in the process. The cute, four-legged, furry creature just started showing up at a local police station and soon was named an honorary member of the team. Watch the short but sweet clip to learn more about Officer Donut and how the feline became a member of the force.

Anyone who doesn’t like, or at least appreciate, animals is someone to watch closely. How could you not love and adore animals? Animals are, without a doubt, some of the best parts about living on Earth. Even if you are not a pet owner, enjoying animals and showing them gentleness, kindness and respect is still possible.

Animals have a way of finding their way into our hearts, and they do so in a shockingly short amount of time. Whenever that happens, when they are considered a part of the group, doing anything of significance without them feels almost wrong. A clip posted on YouTube tells how one cat found himself a home amongst several law enforcement officers.

Donut, a full-grown grey and creme-colored cat, visited a police station several times daily, often walking right into the station.

“About a year ago, Donut just kind of started popping in our back employee entrance area two or three times a day,” one of the officers said. “It seems like he gained a pound or two every day.”

At one point, because the cat made so many frequent trips to the station, Donut’s owners felt the station was the best place for the cat, so Donut resided there, eventually rising in the ranks to become Officer Donut.

The officer said a favorite activity of Donut’s is to jump on top of and into the police vehicles, hoping to get a few snacks from the officers. He also likes helping the officers with their paperwork and has even been known to type out a few words on their reports.

When Officer Donut retires from the force and turns in his badge, a home has already been selected.

What an absolutely adorable officer!  Why doesn’t every police force have feline members?
