The super cats!!!!

I have an awesome news to shear with you, Your favourite pet will probably live much longer!!!!!!!!!! How? Some incredible scientists discovered a way to creat kittens that are resistant to feline AIDS, cool right!? Those cute kittens are born with antiviral protein that we hope will combat feline viruses as HIV. Another gene inside of them makes hem glow in fluoricent light wich proves us that the process is working.The scientist collected eggs from ovaries and injected them with viruses containing monkey genes of the antiviral protein and the green fluorescent protein. . After fertilizing the eggs,the scientists put the egs into the feline mothers. And in the end 3 really cute and fluorecent kittens are born!
Scientists aren't sure yet if this is going to work, they need more time and more kittens to be sure of that but if it works cats will be the first breed to be imuned to this virus.Surprisingly those cats are not the first to glow, scientist have already used this gene for cloning.
 What is also great about this discover is that it will help us find a way to do the same thing with humans. We all know that HIV has affected millions of people and this discovery could help us stop that!
Now we only have 2 things to do, love your pets and if you dont have a pet love your family and friend, and most importantly WAIT!!!!!!

  2. This is very interesting! Glowing kittens huh? What is the relationship between the glowing gene and being immune to FIV? Remember, in the article it is something similar to HIV, but they were calling it FIV because it affects 1 in 100 Felines.
