The first ever cat was sent into space in which year?
The first cat to be sent into space was a French cat named "C151" or "C 151." This historic mission took place on October 18, 1963, as part of France's space program. C151 was chosen to study the effects of weightlessness on living organisms. Tragically, the cat did not survive the mission, which lasted just 15 minutes. This event, while a significant milestone in the history of space exploration, also raised concerns about animal welfare in scientific experiments.
