Sometimes, cats are not just pets. As a physically agile animal, they can also play a specific role in a specific period, such as spy. The United States once trained cats to be spies for collecting intelligence. However, we know that spies must have a smart mind, flexible ability, strong willpower and other abilities that ordinary people cannot reach. Let’s take a look at the cat who only knows how to be cute. Does it really have the characteristics of being a spy?
Why can cats be spies?
1. Cats are smart and quick-witted, and have the conditions to be spies
Everyone knows that cats are very smart and some cats are spiritual. Moreover, most cats are agile and agile. To this end, the CIA once trained a cat as a "spy" and installed an eavesdropper on it, trying to eavesdrop. Unfortunately, it was the first time to carry out a mission. In the messy traffic, the cat was killed by a taxi before reaching the destination.
2. Specific implementation of cat spies
According to foreign media reports: The CIA document released under the Freedom of Information Act revealed that the CIA had tried to use cats as spies and install eavesdroppers on them.
Relevant documents confirm the mission of a former CIA spy, saying that the CIA used cat experiments to eavesdrop on the work. The CIA organized relevant researchers to cut open the cat's abdomen, implant a wiretaper and battery into the abdomen, and install an antenna on the cat's tail, and conduct relevant training on it.
In history, some smart cats were suspected to be spies. Freya, the female cat of the British Chancellor Osbon, disappeared in 2009 and was suddenly found and sent back two years later. In the following months, God Fria unconsciously wandered among the various British government agencies. Recently, a British government official said that this cat that has gone without a trace may have a "implanted" monitor on it. Osbang's aide smiled and said that the Minister of Finance can go anywhere. During a naval exercise, it appeared in the war room and it often went to the taverns frequented by senior British officials. It has also been to the Prime Minister's residence No. 10 Downing Street. Conservative officials said privately that they suspected other countries were using Fria to spy on British secrets. Because Fria not only often goes to government agencies, but also goes to the bar where the most frequently excavated intelligence.
So, cats look like perfect spies: they are small, their whereabouts are mysterious, and they are very good at seducing humans. Humans will caress the cats while talking about various secrets. This is why the CIA decided to implant eavesdropping devices in cats and train them to conduct espionage operations at designated locations. So are domestic cats now really suitable for spies?
In the CIA experiment, they implanted the instrument into the cat's body and easily handled it. But training cats is not easy. It's easy to lock the cat in one place, but when you let it go, you're desperate about the task given to it: the cat will do what the trainer wants it to do unless it's bored. Or it is distracted. Or it's hungry. Also, what people need to know is that for a cat, it is in these states most of the time.
In the first mission given to the cat by the CIA, after a CIA employee released the cat, the cat took a few steps closer to the target person, and then decisively eloped with a taxi.
After spending $20 million in funding and five years, the cat was finally fired. The final evaluation of this failed project is: It is not practical. However, this project is not completely useless: the CIA discovered through this project that cats, such creatures, can move at short distances through training. But if you really want to be a spy, you must be those cats who are born with special abilities and extraordinary qualifications.
