How much would lonely women pay for a pet cat who could change colors like a chameleon?

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 21:35:01 2016 No.1438853 Over 9000 $

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 21:36:09 2016 No.1438856 More than for a regular cat, I guess. At least 50% more, but you'd probably have a smaller customer base. How do you plan to breed such a cat?

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 22:48:41 2016 No.1438990 >>1438861 Does that really result in a cat that can change colors? Has it been done already? I remember hearing about glow-in-the-dark cats a few years ago but not about color-changing cats.

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 22:49:59 2016 No.1438991 >>1438990 I don't think it's possible for a cat to change haircolor

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 22:52:33 2016 No.1438996 >>1438990 >>1438991 If you can get their hair cells to do with pigment what chameleon cells do with pigment you can.

>>1438996
Can you do that, though?
I assume chameleons produce new pigments on the fly, right? Or do they have some weird pigment that fluctuates with body heat?
If it's the latter you won't get much of an effect with cats since they are endothermic; their body temperatures will be relatively constant compared to chameleons.
If it's the former there might be a more complicated element of the chameleon's body that makes it possible.

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 22:58:59 2016 No.1439012 >>1439002 Chameleons have little pigment crystals that change in size, causing their skin color to change. We'd just have to put similar bands into fur and find a convenient triggering mechanism.

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 23:02:53 2016 No.1439023 >>1439012 That sounds like you'd have to write your own genetic code from scratch. Is that even possible?

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 23:05:53 2016 No.1439029 >>1439023 Yes. Oh yes. Easier than you know. In fact I don't even have to write it, I can mostly just splice it and write in the tidbits that I need to fill a few gaps.

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 23:23:52 2016 No.1439058 >>1439029 Splice it from what, exactly? What animal has fur that changes color?

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 23:27:41 2016 No.1439060 >>1439058 I'd be splicing the genes that code for the right proteins into the epithelial cells that become hair follicles. The problem is triggering them since hair cells are deadish.

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 23:29:59 2016 No.1439063 >>1439060 Could body heat work? It does change minutely with different emotions, doesn't it?

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 23:30:42 2016 No.1439065 >>1439063 It's possible to trigger it that way, but I'd need to rejigger some stuff.

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 23:31:59 2016 No.1439066 >>1439065 Well, if you're not talking out of your ass, I look forward to stumbling across a clickbait article about your business and thinking "that's neat" before forgetting all about it.

>>	Anonymous Thu Aug 11 23:32:52 2016 No.1439071 >>1439066 Heh.

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 12 01:49:25 2016 No.1439292 >>1438990 I read articles about Glow in the dark mice. Surely if that is possible, then you can capitalize on glow in the dark cats.

>>	Anonymous Fri Aug 12 09:14:59 2016 No.1439666 >>1439456 No big deal for OP. He just needs to "rejigger" some stuff and trigger dead hair follicles to change color based on the cats emotions. In fact it's easier than you know, he just needs to "splice it" and write in the tidbits.
