Why did the CIA train cats as spies?

In the 1960s the CIA tried to train cat spies. Operation Acoustic Kitty involved surgically implanting microphones and radio transmitters in cats, then training them to sit near foreign leaders so U.S. operatives could listen in.
Unfortunately cats aren’t great at following orders. The $20 million program got scrapped during testing after a bionic cat wandered into the road and got struck by a cab. #cats #CIA #history
