The CIA tried to uncover the Kremlin secrets during Cold War by turning CATS
into walking bugging devices,recently declassified documents show.
In one experiment a cat,dubbed Acoustic Kitty,was wired up for use as an
eavesdropping platform.It was hoped that the animal,surgically altered to
accommodate transmitting and control devices,could listen to secret
conversations from window sills,park benches or dustbins.
Victor Marchetti a former CIA officer said Project Acoustic Kitty ,which took
five years to design was gruesome creation.
"They slit the cat open,put batteries in him,wired him up.The tail was used as
an antenna.They made a monstrosity.They testet him and testet him.They found he
would walk off the job when he got hungry,so they put another wire in to
override that. Live trial was an expensive disaster."
The documents show that Project Acoustic Kitty cost tens of millions of
dollars and ends by congratulating the team for its hard work!!"The work done
on this problem over the years reflects great credit on the personel who guided
it......whose energy and imagination could be MODELS FOR SCIENTIFIC PIONEERS."
