Even Ultimate Cat Lovers Don’t Know These Feline Facts
A Cat Was Trained As A Spy
We already knew cats were smart, but did you know that one was trained as a spy by the CIA? “Acoustic Kitty” was the name of the project launched in the 1960s. The goal was to use highly-trained cats to spy on the Kremlin and Soviet embassies.
The spy cat was surgically outfitted with a microphone, a radio transmitter, and a wire. Unfortunately, it was hit and killed by a car on its first mission and the $20 million project was scrapped soon after.
