Watch: How Far Do Your Cats Roam? So far Cat Tracker's subjects haven't covered nearly as much ground—the longest trip so far belonged to Natasha, at 0.8 mile (1.3 kilometers)—but its still early in the project, with hundreds of mystery movements yet to be mapped. I expect we'll get lots of surprises, Kays said. Kitties, take your marks... smaller cat-tracking project in central Illinois in 2011 revealed the travels of 42 adult cats ranging over more than 6,000 acres (2,400 hectares) of land. Unowned cats proved to be the most active and had the highest mileage.

- POLYCHROMASIA. Polychromasia is a variation in staining of erythrocytes with the Wright's stain because of the presence of young erythrocytes. These young cells have a diffuse bluish color, blue color, indicating residual RNA. They will appear as reticulocytes with methylene blue staining.An increase in the number of polychromatophilic erythrocytes or reticulocytes indicates accelerated erythropoiesis and a response to an anemia.hese young cells have a diffuse bluish color, blue color, indicating residual RNA.
