Tiger Cat
Some manipulation of cat DNA to produce a cat that looks a tiger | |
For those who think of tigers as beatiful animals, and would like to have your own tiger pub. Make changes to common household DNA of cat, to produce a cat that looks like a small 2 months old tiger when fully grown, with striped orange/black coat, or bengal tiger look. This way you can have a cat
around your home that looks like a small tiger.

Why GM? Why not just breeding? I get the feeling our Genetic Magic here on Earth hasn't advanced far enough to paint a cat. |
|
| |
As [contracts] points out, the genetic alterations are easier to achieve with breeding than with GM. That's why it's already been done (see link - Toyger). |

animal + animal = yawn (except if it's a panther and tarantula) |

Careful with those genetic modifications. You might end up with something like a Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger: a carnivorous marsupial with tiger stripes and a canine-like head with unusually wide-opening jaws. In fact, since the species is believed to have become extinct in the last century, genetic scientists are now trying to clone the animal from residual DNA samples.(link) |

-j, I read an article today, that the woman who has been searching for this beast, actually now has a photo. It was in today's Courant. I'll see if I can find. (And btw, it's nice to have words with you again.) |
|
| |
Well yeah, I read the article, but the point being...I was thinking *you* were the Tasmanian Tiger, and now I know you are not. |

Though seemingly not pertinent, sudden oak death must have you a little worried. |
|
| |
Uh... however cryptic you think you may be, pertinent oak, and I, are family, or should I say familiar? |
