There's a company that breeds several kinds of hypoallergenic cats that shouldn't cause problems for people with an allergy for fel d 1.

They should get together with these guys. Hypoallergenic fluorescent cats - you can't lose!

"The best results taking all factors into account were obtained using a cat"

Re-fixed your "fix".

Finally, an intelligent response, not one out to have me locked away as a lunatic for playing devil's advocate and supporting the possibility that Intelligent Design could be a viable "theory" (not scientific, just a theory.)

In response to your questions:

Gravity is a fact. What gravity is is still highly unknown and debatable. Do large mass bodies bend space-time? Is gravity between two large objects simply one getting caught in the bend in space-time caused by another? So many unanswered questions. But I place your question akin to the question "Would you view life and conciousness as a theory or fact?" Of course life exists. What it is or how it got here (or if there is an afterlife) is extremely questionable at this time.

Also, in case anyone here reads this far down the post chain, I certainly do not proport that ID is yet a scientific theory. But it's damn sure a hypothesis. Hell, we can't design an entire life form yet, but we can, in a lab, alter DNA and genetic makeup to produce visible, observable changes in animals (Glofish, for instance. Or hypoallergenic cats.) Intelligent design at the feature level is observable and recreatable - one of the requirements for moving a hypothesis to a theory.

But these are just my two cents.

Even more reason to wait for Alerca to complete their acquisition of Real Doll, Inc.

But... what if they never develop this cat? Straight from their "Reservation and Purchase Agreement"...

Purchaser agrees to pay and remit to the Company herewith a holding deposit of $250.00, which shall be non-refundable whether or not a Cat is ever produced or delivered

There goes your money.

I think I'm going to do the same thing... Maybe I'll "genetically engineer" a ferret that doesn't stink, a dog that doesn't crap on your floor, and fish that you don't need to feed. And then take your money for "preorders".

Mwahahaha!

But more importantly, will they all look like the one from the front page?

Check out the EULA here -> Reservations

Here's the part about neutering e. At the discretion of the Company the Cat may be neutered prior to delivery to Purchaser..." Kinda answers that to some degree.

The hypoallergenic cat is the first of a planned series of lifestyle pets that ALLERCA will develop over the next few years
