Glow in the Dark Cats

Being someone interested in science and technology, it was hard for me to ignore the new that’s been going around the internet all this week regarding South Korean scientists making the “breakthrough” of genetically engineering a glow in the dark cat.

According to the East Anglian Daily Times, there are a bunch of black cats who, due to supesticious nonsense and a reputation of being witch’s familiars, are being left behind in a Bury St.Edmunds cat sanctuary by prospective cat owners.
