Turmeric is known to be a superfood thanks to its active component curcumin, which apparently reduces inflammation and slows aging.

Curcumin is also responsible for that yellow stain that gets on your hands and clothes whenever you handle turmeric.

One Thai woman learned just how brilliantly yellow it could get after she applied a turmeric scrub on her white cat.

The woman, Thammapa Supamas, had experimented with a turmeric scrub to treat her cat's fungal infection.

As you can see, the owner was quite thorough with the application of the scrub.

The good news was that the turmeric scrub seemed to work.

But the even better news? It left her cat with nearly fluorescent yellow fur.

Here's a comparison of the before and after:

Some netizens even drew comparisons to anime character Pikachu.
