Wikipedia wrote:Acoustic Kitty was a CIA project launched in the 1960s attempting to use cats in spy missions. A battery and a microphone were implanted into a cat and an antenna into its tail. Due to problems with distraction, the cat's sense of hunger had to be removed in another operation. Surgical and training expenses are thought to have amounted to over 10 million British pounds.
The first cat mission was eavesdropping on two men in a park outside the Soviet compound on Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, D.C. The cat was released nearby, but was hit and killed by a taxi almost immediately. Shortly thereafter the project was considered a failure and declared to be a total loss.
I hate stories of animal cruelty, but that highlighted sentence still drew a chuckle from me.
When I lived in Iowa as a young lad, my next door neighbor used to skin his cats and mount their bones after they died. I remember he had a number of them... displayed in the same room he kept all of his snakes.

And all that has made up Sim has been explained in one simple 2 sentence paragraph

If it was a CIA project why was the cost calculated in British pounds?
Those must have been some expensive trainers. How do you surgically remove a cat's sense of hunger? Even if you did wouldn't your 10 million pound cat then starve to death?

Thanks for breaking down the humor of the situation, Debbie Downer.

Haha, this made me think of the Debbie Downer skits when she'd saying something depressing and then it would make that "Waaaaa-Waaaaaaaaaaaah" sound.
