Shanghai: Placing a heat detector, tiny surveillance camera, night vision goggles and a tranquiliser dart in a large rucksack, Sun Jinrong was ready for that night’s assignment – finding the missing loved one of a desperate client.

The target was not a rebellious child or senile senior, but Yuanxiao, a semi-longhair ragdoll cat with a colorpoint coat and striking blue eyes, standing 15cm tall and weighing about 4kg.
