Nod is using Tiberium on kittens now? But actually. Thats pretty neat.
I read it as "We gave them a gene that resist kitty-aids... THEN WE ADDED ANOTHER THAT MADE THEM GLOW IN THE DARK BECAUSE SCIENCE." Was sad when I found out that wasn't the case.
Glowing kittens. Science, what the fuck man? You used to be cool.

I would freak out if I saw a glowing cat somewhere in the middle of the night.
My cat has feline aids. Can I sign up to be a glow person so I can save him?

The cats don't just glow in the dark. The gene that has been inserted has fluorescent properties which means that they only glow when subjected to a certain frequency of light. In this case, UV. Should take the cats to a rave :v:
I tried to make my cat glow once.... Let's just say I no longer have a cat.
Does this mean the Green Lanterns are also immune to AIDS?
How many years until they start selling designer glowing cats?
It makes them less easy to hit with cars.
These cats are fine. It's the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation]blue[/url] ones that scare me.
I bet dogs think they are sky high

I want a glowing pet cat!

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;32268075]I just went there yesterday and saw nothing on the subject.[/QUOTE] Well, shit I dunno. I see them at mine. I mean, it's not a bigger concern than fleas or ticks or anything, not the [I]premier[/I] thing they're worried about. It'll just be up there with all the other medicine ads and pamphlets about diseases.
