allergy free cats

[Anatresia]

They've started "creating" cats that don't have the allergens that cause allergies in humans. It's some cloning-esque process. Too bad they're $3500- I'm ridiculously allergic to cats and it would be amazing to be able to have one. Mr. Butters is in love with cats- he cries every time he sees one, because he wants to play with it.

The cloning thing still seems kind of weird...:huh: but then again, you wouldn't be buying the clones directly; you would be buying their kittens. I don't think the Queen Angel would apprecate a kitten, though. :(

On the note of an allergy free cat, I saw a Sphinx at Petsmart last night, that was in their rescue shelter. He was going for $55.00! Apparently, the woman who spent more for this cat than two of our doxies, was moving and decided that she couldn't take her cats. The female had already been sold. If I didn't already have enough animals, I would have gotten this cute little boy.
