Cats can also be spies?

Sometimes, a cat is not just a pet. As an agile animal, it can also play a specific role in a specific period, such as a spy. The United States has trained cats to be spies in order to collect intelligence. However, we know that spies must have a smart mind, the ability to adapt to changes, strong willpower and other abilities that ordinary people cannot achieve. Let’s take a look at our cute cat. Does it really have the qualities to be a spy?

Why can cats be spies?

1. Cats are smart and agile, and are qualified to be spies

Everyone knows that cats are very smart, and some cats are spiritual. Moreover, most cats are agile and agile. For this reason, the CIA once trained a cat to be a "spy" and installed an eavesdropping device on it in an attempt to eavesdrop. Unfortunately, during its first mission, the cat was caught in the messy traffic before it reached its destination. The taxi was run over to death.

2. The specific implementation of cat spies

According to foreign media reports: CIA documents released under the Freedom of Information Act revealed that the CIA had experimented with using cats as spies. An eavesdropping device is installed on his body.

Relevant documents confirmed the mission of a former CIA agent, saying that the CIA used cats to conduct eavesdropping experiments. The CIA organized relevant researchers to cut open the cat’s abdomen and implant listening devices and batteries in the cat. The tail is installed with the antenna and relevant training is performed on it.

Some smart cats in history have been suspected of being spies. British Chancellor of the Exchequer Osborne’s female cat Freya disappeared in 2009 and was suddenly found and returned two years later. For the next few months, Freya moved around various British government agencies without anyone noticing. Recently, a British government official said that this cat that came and went without a trace may have a monitor "implanted in another country". Osborne's staff joked that the Chancellor's cat can go anywhere. During a naval exercise, it appeared in the Situation Room, and more often in the taverns frequented by British dignitaries. It has also been to No. 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister's official residence. Some Conservative Party officials said privately that they suspected that other countries were using Freya to spy on British secrets. Because Freya not only frequented government agencies, but also went to the bar where 007 most frequently mined intelligence.

So cats seem to be perfect spies: they are small, they are secretive, and they are very good at seducing humans. Humans will (silly) caress cats while telling secrets. This is why the CIA decided to implant listening devices in cats and train them to carry out espionage operations at designated locations. So are today’s domestic cats really suitable for spies?

In the CIA's experiment, they implanted the instrument into the cat's body and easily accomplished it. But training a cat is not easy. It's easy to confine a cat to a place, but when you let it out, you can despair of the task you've given it: the cat will do whatever its trainer wants it to do, unless it's boring. Or it's distracted. Or it's hungry. Also, what people need to understand is that for a cat, it is in these states most of the time.

In the CIA's first mission for a cat, after a CIA employee let the cat out, the cat took a few steps closer to the target person and then decisively eloped with a taxi.

After spending $20 million and five years, Cat was finally fired. The CIA's final assessment of this failed project was: it was not practical. However, this project is not completely useless: through this project, the CIA discovered that cats, such creatures, can be trained to move short distances. But if you really want to be a spy, you have to be a cat who is born with special abilities and extraordinary qualifications.
