Glow-in-the-Dark Cats Could Make For a Unique Home Lighting Solution

Is this real? We can't tell how bright this really is, but it's just another example of better living through chemistry. And we mean that in a good way. But is it safe? Chemists and experts, do tell us if this works, and if so, how? [YouTube, via CrunchGear]
