Summary

In this episode of History Shorts, we explore the CIA's attempt to turn an ordinary house cat into a covert listening device, surgically implanting audio equipment in hopes of spying on Soviet conversations. The idea was ambitious—but the execution proved far more complicated, and the project quickly ran into unexpected challenges.

This is a story of innovation pushed to its limits—where Cold War paranoia, technological ambition, and a touch of absurdity collided in one of the strangest intelligence experiments ever attempted.
