Dark Matter - Ray Cat

[Bastide and Fabbri] proposed that we genetically engineer a species of cat that changes color in the presence of radiation, which would be released into the wild to serve as living Geiger counters. Then, we would create folklore and write songs and tell stories about these “ray cats”.

"It is a common misconception that the Sphynx cat is without dander. This is false. The radiated cat, however, harbors few or no allergens (other than aforementioned radiation)."
