Hehe! Glow in the dark kitties!

This is neat for reasons other than the possible medical benefits...:P
Glowy Kitties

:O They're kind of creepy... lol
Re: Hehe! Glow in the dark kitties!
i want one!!!!! I NEEDDDDD ONE!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Hehe! Glow in the dark kitties!
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.

I don't buy it. :thumbsdow

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.
Re: Hehe! Glow in the dark kitties!
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
