Radioactive Neko 5

Neko was treated for hyper-thyroidism, a condition where a tumour within the thyroid glad over-produces various hormones. This results in a variety of symptoms, from weight loss (see how skinny she is now compared to before - she lost over 2 kg), excessive moulting, constant thirst, over-eating, etc.

 

The treatment consists of Neko being injected with radioactive iodine, which is absorbed by the tumour and kills the affected cells (leaving the healthy ones alone - clever!)

 

So now I have a radioactive cat! (For about another week, anyway, before it dissipates).

 

I am looking for the first signs of mutant super-powers developing, but so far, no luck.
