Lest we forget, the author reminds us about the Korean veterinarian, Hwang Wu Suk.

Poor kitties.

As I said on my blog: in my day, we just belled ‘em.

Another case of just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

What happens if a red glowing cat eats a green glowing mouse?

I know I’m the bearer of bad news but that green one must have the infection. It will be imp ossible to heal and will need to be put down.

They modified its genes to make them fluorescent by using a virus

How does a virus make genes fluorescent?

Thanks for posting the pic.

Creepy doesn’t begin to tell it. My cat is very happy with a mottled grey/white/tan coat, thank you very much.

We had a kid in my old neighborhood who made cats glow.

I think he used gas and matches.

How does a virus make genes fluorescent?

The virus is the transport vehicle for a gene that codes for a protein that fluoresces. If you add this gene to the DNA in an egg cell, induce cell division, implant the blastomere or embryo into a host uterus. The test for success is when the baby kitten arrives - you shine a UV light on it and if you see florescence your attempt at modifying the creature worked. The skin cells are producing the gene's protein.

I think I got that right - close enough.

Here's my cat, Trixie, with glowing eyes:

When the lights go out, however, so do Trixie's eyes. She's dependable that way, which is a good thing.

When I was in HS in the 70's, I bought weed from a couple that had a chimp that smoked weed with them, and a dog in the back yard on LSD and beer. And 2 parrots that laughed a lot. I never went back there.

I hope they straightened up by this time. Normal people don't get their pets stoned so people can sit around and laugh at them.

This is very close to that. Help the animals to just live a normal animal life with some love and companionship. Mark Levin has a book out about this called 'Rescuing Sprite'. It is going for sale overseas in other languages.
