    If I was some post-apocalypse caveman and I saw a glowing cat I’d assume it was a god and just live wherever it glows.

      You missed the part about the atomic preisthood and “inventing a body of folklore, passed on through proverbs and myths, to explain that people should flee when a cat changes color.” Such as the cute little song

      Don’t change color, kitty.
      Keep your color, kitty.
      Stay that pretty gray.
      Don’t change color, kitty.
      Keep your color, kitty.
      Keep sickness away.
