They don't glow so much as fluoresce; that is, under ultraviolet light they reflect back in the visible part of the spectrum. You'd only see the effect under black light.

"How would I know?" she asked. "I can't see them in the dark! Will you turn them on?" I reach over and flip the switch. Click! We see two small reddish cats walking around on the furniture.

You see, sometimes I wake up at night having to piss real bad and if it's really dark I'll get lost back in a corner and panic and the urge to pee is so strong that I have to go right there on the floor and clean it up in the morning when God's blessed sunlight fills the room. Now, a couple of glow in the dark cats would helput a whole lot. - True confessions of a Texas Pecan Rancher (the TPR system). - I love you all. - Mongrel dog soils actor's foot. > > > > >http://inventorspot.com/articles/scientists_create_glowinthedark__9191 > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > blessed sunlight fills the room.
