Glow-in-the-Dark Cats

[Xaroxantu Zero]

Through genetic modification of cloned cats, that is. Not a natural phenomenon:

Scientists at the Gyeongsang National University in South Korea have cloned cats that have the ability to glow-in-the dark when exposed to ultraviolet light. By inserting a virus into the skin cells of a mother cat and placing those contaminated cells into the womb, scientists were able to prove that it was possible to clone an animal with a manipulated gene. Apparently, this development could allow for a better understanding of human genetic diseases in the future. But what about the benefits of glowing cats?

If you ask me, cats that could truly glow-in-the-dark would make for an unique and styilsh night-light. And, much like the new Litrospheres, they last for about 12 years. The only downside is that the latter requires no power source while cats require a steady diet. Still, the crazy cat lady down the street could have the most power efficient house in town.

And yet, nobody seems surprised that it's Koreans that came up with ways to make cats easier to find in the dark

meh that's just begging for some diseases playing with cells like that... as if we don't have enough diseases to deal with as it is

at least you'll see them run across the street before you hit them.

Have something to aim for?

They only glow in the dark when exposed to ultraviolet beams. Pretty cool though.

I've been watching too much Resident Evil lately... we really don't need to be fucking around with Genetics...

thats just terrifying lol, could you imagine mobs of genetically engineered cats cruising around the city in packs! something about making glow in the dark mammals doesn't sound right
