South Korean scientists have cloned cats by manipulating a fluorescent protein gene, a procedure which could help develop treatments for human genetic diseases, officials said today.

In a side-effect, the cloned cats glow in the dark when exposed to ultraviolet beams.

The photo in the article really is worth a thousand words. shocked

I thought most fluorescence was green/yellow. Those cats kind of look like a photo taken with infra-red. Real?

Demon Kitties OR are they actually Mutant Zombie Kitties with a good Public Relations Team behind them??????

Glowing in the dark MIGHT suggest some radiation is in there somewhere!!!!!!

Oh hey, if I get bit by one of those would I develop super cat powers? The ability to sleep 19 hours a day, the agility to climb up to the top shelf of the bookcase and knock stuff off, furball regurgitation into shoes with pinpoin accuracy...

Hmmm, I need to think about this...NOT!

I don't care to see a cat in the daytime. Why would I want to see one during the night or a power outage? BTW, a benefit of power outages is NOT seeing cats.

Yes, that's true. But they can probably see you... I know they're watching Blast.

Be sure to get one at least three times the size of the cat. Otherwise the cat will win.

Yeah, maybe in theory. I outweigh the damn cat by by 200 lbs and it sent me to the emergency room.

Hmm, could it be some sort of mutant radioactive super cat?
