In the 60-ies of the last century, the CIA spent as much as 5 years completely useless attempts to turn cats scouts. Were the development of technology that would allow cats to secretly record conversations. The microphone is located in the cat's ear, and on the back hair was hidden under the antenna. Because of its small size transmitter it could not be equipped with a large battery and the device records only for a short time.

Another problem was that the cats do not have a good orientation in an unfamiliar area. As a result, first launched in the exploration cat was hit by a Soviet spy car on the way to the place of appearance. It was a complete failure of the mission, and the CIA had to give up their evil plans.
