Liu Jianguo feeds cats in front of the 'cat training camp' in Panjin, Northeast China's Liaoning province on July 19, 2010. Liu's job at the Dingxiang Rice Company is to train about 100 cats to kill rats, because rat poison can ruin the quality of rice. The "feline captain" has been training the cats for a few years, and he has developed a special bond with them - he not only trains and feeds them, but also bathes them and treats them when they get sick. He proudly said there were no rats to be seen at the rice barn. [Photo/Xinhua]
