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. :-/
