I didn't like the sounds of "demyelization" induced by a diet of irradiated food. Although no specifics were mentioned about that diet, one has to wonder about the near constant reassurances that irradiated food is safe:

This is why I think this is an April Fools joke. Perhaps they are playing on the general public's fear of radiation.

I can't tell if this is an April fool's joke or not... I know nothing of cat science.

It doesn't look like an April fool's joke. Google News knows of 4 sources for this announcement and Ian Duncan is a real UW-Madison neuroscientist.

Having said that, none of the articles about this cite the actual paper and no article by Ian Duncan or about cats or myelination or demyelination appears in the PNAS from March 30. Judge for yourself. :-/
