I am not so sure. But anyway I found the following link while searching.
On October 18, 1963, French scientists launched the first cat into space on a Veronique AGI sounding rocket No. 47. The cat, named Felix, was successfully retrieved after a parachute descent, but a second feline flight on October 24 ran into difficulties that prevented recovery.

The French sent two cats to space. Felix the cat was launched into space on October 18, 1963. The cat had electrodes implanted into its head to measure neural impulses. Felix was recovered alive, but the next cat in space, Félicette, was not.http://www.purr-n-fur.org.uk/famous/feli…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animals_in_…
I believe they did, but the cat shed and scratched the furniture.
And when he was back he gave the scientists that look, like “what are you guys looking at?”
