Fluorescent Cats

[Are_grits_groceries]

Animals that produce fluorescent proteins after gene splicing. Now South Korean scientists have produced cloned cats that produce RFP (Red Fluorescent Protein). The cats glow in the dark when exposed to ultraviolet rays! Three such cats were cloned, and two of the Turkish Angoras have survived to adulthood.

2. Let's do it to humans.

That way, cat burglars would still glow in the dark.

5. Great, so now when they come sit on your face at 3:00 in the morning...

... because you forgot to feed them or they or just bored or just to mess with you, THEIR FUCKING ASSES WILL GLOW!

Thats' just great. Glowing cat ass at 3:00 in the morning - JUST what I need.

What kind of drugs do these so called "scientists" do to think UP this shit? Whatever it is, I don't want any.

6. The glowing cat could be science's greatest gift to the developing world

Think about it! We breed up a shitload of glow-in-the-dark cats and cut 'em loose in grain storage facilities in some rat-infested region. Rats know what cats are. The rats would see the glow-in-the-dark cats and not go in there anymore.
