South Korean scientists created two cloned, glow-in-the-dark cats back in 2007.
The scientists at Gyeongsang National University created the cats which would glow red under ultraviolet light, as seen in the image above.
As CNET repoted back in 2007:
The pair of cats cloned from a mother's altered skin cell are nearly a year old. The researchers told the AFP that their work could help unravel mysteries of some 250 genetic diseases suffered by both humans and cats. The findings also could be used to clone endangered tigers, leopards, and other animals, the report said.
