    Yeah and you won't trip over them when you get up to go to the bath room in the middle of the night:P. I'm gonna go spray some glow in the dark spray paint on my kitty now lol. I just wonder what the life span is. Dolly didn't make it a year. Another thing I wonder how long the person receiving the medical benefits would survive if the animal doesn't live that long. Cloning just raises a lot of questions for me. Cool post though.

    Well, they're not really glow-in-the-dark. They "glow" when exposed to UV light similar to what happens to a scorpion. The glowing process is passive instead of active like that of a firefly or jelly.

    Hi,

    Actually that's not accurate she lasted quite well (for a clone not a normal animal) and even had six offspring.

    Born: 5 July 1996
    Birthplace: Edinburgh, Scotland
    Died: 14 February 2003 (euthanization)
    Best Known As: The first cloned mammal

    There do seem to be problems with degenerative illnesses being more common in some of the cloning projects though but I think it's being worked on and there is a nerwer technique that is apparently quite promising.

    Here's a link to the page on her by the people who produced her.

    True, not really glow in the dark... Actually they'd be black light kitties, which is still pretty cool. I think there are some species of snakes that fluoresce under black lights too. And thats naturally occurring.

    I tell ya these cats are out of control! First we get the hairless kitties and now they glow. We need to put a stop to these mutant mischievous activities before it's too late and they become invisible. In fact they probably already are. :weirdface
