“the Mayo researchers made these cats solely to help the fight against AIDS, not to be awesome additions to a Halloween party”
I hate it when doctors try to tell us how to live our lives.
Next thing you know, we’ll have a phosphorescence tax.

Exactly. This is a great advance in pet technology!
On the other paw, I wonder if it reduces their effectiveness as mousers.

Where can I obtain one of these phosphorescent cats?

Now if we could just get all of the HIV carriers to glow an eerie green, I’m sure that HIV spread will be greatly contained.

I wonder if it reduces their effectiveness as mousers. I doubt they are very good mousers, they're not all that bright...

Does this mean that people who end up being cured of AIDS will glow in the dark?

If I understand this right, if you glow green, like the cats do, you are immune..................

Cats do not pass on HIV to humans.
I have an HIV positive kitty cat, and she is wonderful.
She has had it for about 10 years. The vet is on top of it. Anytime she starts to feel bad, my vet comes to my house to keep her from going into AIDS.
To: Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)
Sigh. I was simply joking about my husband being afraid of my - admittedly - somewhat unloveable feral cat that I’ve owned and cared for for about 12 years now. Poor thing.
I never said anything about HIV being passed from cats to humans.

Yeah, I was suggesting that all they need to do is turn it around and make the carriers glow green. Or I suppose you could just brand their foreheads with HIV.

Thank you MM.
Absolutely not....I was just passing on some information in general because maybe some folks think cats can pass on HIV to humans.
That was only my intention.
Please forgive any misunderstanding. In no way was it meant toward you or anybody else.
To: Retired Greyhound
Worth it to fight FIV, though.
