humuhumunukunukuapu' writes "Allerca Inc is now taking reservations for genetically engineered hypo-allergenic cats, which it calls 'lifestyle pets'... and apparently they are just the beginning... Read the press release here... and you can take delivery of a cuddy non-sinus bothering bundle of joy for just $3500. 'The hypoallergenic cats produced by ALLERCA will allow consumers to enjoy the love and companionship of a pet without the cost, inconvenience, risk, and limited effectiveness of current allergy treatments. Clients will take delivery of the first ALLERCA kittens in 2007. The hypoallergenic cat is the first of a planned series of lifestyle pets that ALLERCA will develop over the next few years.' Meow!"

  1. Schnorkie or Yowzer by Mr.+Flibble · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Here is a short summary of the man page for my dog.

    I have a Yorkie-Mini Schnauzer cross, and she has the following features:

    1) Incredibly cute. Daisy's Picture

    2) Does not pee on the carpet. I strongly reccomend this book, an absolute must for humanely and effectively training your dog.

    3) She triggers no cat allergies whatsoever.

    4) She did not cost $3500.

    5) She, like other dogs, after adequate programming (RTFM in point #2 above ;) performs well according to input givem from the user. Like any canine, with bad programming or inadequate data, she will not behave correctly. A canine that bluescreens is not a good dog.

    6) She is not a cat.

    In all seriousness though, get that book and train your dog. Yorkies or any other dog will not pee on your carpet if you train them appropriately. Note, some dogs may have medical reasons that cause inadvertant leakage, you may need to check with your vet about this.
