In my universe, it went down this way: "Oh shit, did that really just happen? Aw, fuck. Fuck! Shit!"...then ten minutes of uncontrollable laughter. Then mourning and fear.

I like the conclusion: "for our purposes, it would not be practical."
I'd like to know who came up with the idea to use cats -- the least trainable domestic animal there is. But I guess the Soviets had already used up all the dogs...
