Weaponized Cats (and other Animals)

[AgriDrThunder]

During the Battle of Pelusium in 525 BC, the invading Persians used cats against the Egyptians and were victorious, successfully annexing Egypt to the Achaemenid Empire.

Polyaenus, "a retired Macedonian general more interested in novelty than historical accuracy",[4] claims that, according to legend, Cambyses captured Pelusium by using a clever strategy. The Egyptians regarded certain animals, especially cats, as being sacred (they had a cat goddess named Bastet), and would not injure them on any account. Polyaenus claims that Cambyses had his men carry the "sacred" animals in front of them to the attack. The Egyptians did not dare to shoot their arrows for fear of wounding the animals, and so Pelusium was stormed successfully. This would be an early form of psychological warfare.[5]

What animals do you think should be militarized and how do you think they should be used?

Bat bomb - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Bat bombs were an experimental World War II weapon developed by the United States. The bomb consisted of a bomb-shaped casing with over a thousand compartments, each containing a hibernating Mexican free-tailed bat with a small, timed incendiary bomb attached.

In his letter, Adams stated that the bat was the "lowest form of animal life", and that, until now, "reasons for its creation have remained unexplained".[3]:6 He went on to espouse that bats were created "by God to await this hour to play their part in the scheme of free human existence, and to frustrate any attempt of those who dare desecrate our way of life."[3]:6

FACT: bats were created by the Lord Almighty to blow up Japanese people

Well seagulls are pretty fucking brutal as they are, I imagine selective breeding and training could turn them into killing machines relatively quickly. I remember some guy in my country was literally stalked by a seagull for two weeks for some reason.

Should any nation ever get into a war with India, I'd imagine that cows with bomb vests would be the most effective strat against them. What are they gonna do? Shoot the holiest animal?

Cats able to track enemy infantry until the AC-130 shows up.

Of course, cats don't train that well.

I'd love to crispr our version of FOXP2 into a bunch of animals and see if it improved their communication capabilities.

Dogs are already pretty op but imagine if they could communicate even rudimentary information over an implanted radio?

Packs of talking dogs for recce would be class.
