The reason this agency has decided on this comes from many reasons, including that cats are considered intelligent, agile animals, can jump on high objects and almost everyone thinks that They are pets, but no one thinks they can become spies. The CIA placed a transponder regarding 2cm into a gray-white female cat.

They have hidden a microphone in this cat’s ears and have antennas running down its back to its tail. However, because the cats are relatively small, the battery used must also be small, so only short conversations can be obtained. In addition, the CIA also took time to get each part installed on the cat to work properly and ensure that the cat would not move too much or not lick or scratch the recording equipment hidden in the body. . However, the process is quite easy. The more difficult part is training the cat to follow directions. Any cat owner knows that asking a cat to do anything but what it wants is not easy.
After five years of training with regarding $20 million, the CIA felt they might direct the “cat spies” to move in specific directions and locations, as long as they weren’t distracted, bored, or hungry. In the end, they decided to put to use this $20 million investment – a trained cat spy. They drove the truck along a road that began at the site of the meeting with the Soviet Union in Washington, DC. The targets were two men sitting on a bench in a nearby park. Then they opened the car door and released the cat.
However, this “spy” had just walked a few steps when he was hit by a nearby taxi. The project “Acoustic Kitty” (roughly translated as Eavesdropping Cat) was canceled and was said to be a complete failure.
