Off topic, but I thought the glowhounds among us might like seeing a 
fluorescent cat.  I know other creatures have been made to glow under LW 
UV (mice were done here at the University of Hawaii), but this is the 
first cat I've seen.  As usual the press sometimes makes mistakes, like 
say it "glows in the dark" as if it did so without exposure to UV light, 
and one source said it was "phosphorescent." You can find several URLs 
with just the fluorescent cat subject, but here's a fairly good limk:
