i made my cat listen to the audio clip in from the article + he loved it
I called my skittish kitty, Aislynn, into the bedroom and up onto the bed next to me, and I played the Cozmo’s Air for her. No reaction. But she’s my “suckler” kitty, who does nursing paws and drools on stuff when she is happy. So I put on Rusty’s Ballad instead. And she stopped moving, just staring at me like she’d found god. Then she closed her eyes. I played it again and she carefully laid down with her head near the speaker of my laptop. I paid for and downloaded the whole song immediately and halfway through playing the full song, my other cat came into the room and stared at the computer like she had also found god, and now they are both laying near me listening with their eyes slitted and their ears ticking.
Scientists have discovered how to make glow-in-the-dark cats by
inserting the jellyfish genes that create fluorescent proteins into feline eggs.
I needed to check that this was real, and apparently, it is. What’s more, the end goal in these experiments was to fight feline AIDS, creating glow-in-the-dark cats was a side effect. That might be the greatest sentence I write this year.
