Hypoallergenic Cats?
Quote:
What are claimed to be the world's first specially bred hypoallergenic cats have gone on sale in the US.
US biotech firm Allerca says it has managed to selectively breed them by reducing a certain type of protein that triggers allergic reactions.

The company says the animals will not cause the red eyes, sneezing and even asthma triggered by cat allergy, except in the most acute cases.

Despite costing $3,950 (£2,104), there is already a waiting list to get one.

Allerca first started taking orders for hypoallergenic cats back in 2004.

Wink No excuse to love cats, now
My mother was trying to tell me about this new cat breed over the phone. She heard about it on a television news program, and was quite excited about this news, having had her share of cat allergies over the years -- but still wanting a pet cat for company.

I rather think the price of these specially bred hypoallergenic cats rather high at nearly $4,000 a piece -- well, it is a price that's nothing to sneeze at. :blush:
