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.

There actually is a good reason for making cats glowy like this. It’s easier than having to.. umm.. test all the cells...
Fluorescent animals always...me feel uncomfortable
