Second thoughts - I've had a flash of inspiration!
a) Real Hamster: An orange, black-spotted short-haired Satin, just like a Bengal cat.
b) Imaginary: Black and orange leopard-print!!!
How cool would that be! When the neon gene is discovered, you could also have neon-pink and neon-green leopard print hamsters too!
And ooooohh...... what about Glow-in-the-Dark Hamsters? Apparently scientists have already created glow-in-the-dark mice. just think, when they escape you'd be able to spot them straight away, as long as it's night-time.
[I can hear you all thinking: "What is she
on!?!" Nothing - I promise!
