It would be impossible to use Fluffy as a nightlight, a rave accessory, or a traffic deterrent. @Tequila: There are also glowing mice, so you could call it even. And isn't it Toxoplasma, not human work, that makes rodents unafraid? Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble, but the cats only glow under a certain light type, not in the dark.

Mainly cause I enjoy stuff that glows in the dark...but I can see why it's a very bad idea to let them into the general population at the moment. Would pretty much destroy a cats hunting ability...but for a domesticated cat no real issue...though I will admit that story about the "mouse with no fear" of cats experiment scares the hell out of me. Rats and mice are bad enough without making em all suicide bomber like. While I know PETA hates such experiments I find them incredibly cool and would love to have one.
