The all-time best ever use of such tactics was, of course, in the Battle of Pelusium. The Persian commander ordered his troops to capture as many cats as they can, then released them on the city. Since the cat was sacred to the Egyptian religion, the Egyptian defenders immediately surrendered the city and ran away. Another version was that the Persian army came into the battle holding cats and promptly slaughtered the Egyptians who would not dare risk harming them.

Whether this story is true is hardly of any concern.
