Glow in the Dark Cats Will Fight AIDS So You Wont Have to

"A cat which has been genetically altered to make cells that resist a version of the AIDS virus that affects cats, along with a jellyfish protein that makes it glow green, is seen in this photo. US scientists have developed a strain of green-glowing cats with cells that resist infection from a virus that causes feline AIDS, a finding that may help prevent the disease in cats and advance AIDS research in people."

Those are some nice kitties... VERY nice kitties. Going on curing AIDS and all while freaking glowing a nice green glow! I mean, it sure is great that these cats are hellbent on helping out the human race, but the brass tax here is that they GLOW! All  you have to do is shine a blacklight of sort on them and their fur and nails will light up like a scorpion. Science makes nature awesome.
