Hypoallergenic Cats
Lambticc writes "The BBC is running an article about how a US firm has successfully bred cats to reduce the production of the protein which causes an allergic reaction. Since the result was achieved through selective breeding, there should not be any complaints from the anti-GM lobby." From the article: "The cats will not cause the red eyes, sneezing and even asthma that some cat allergy sufferers experience, 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 genetically engineered hypoallergenic cats back in 2004."
But when will they finally breed the North American House Hippo!? Huh? That's what I want to know.
Get yours now from petsovernight.com.
Mmmm, breaded cat meat.
Fuck native animals.
As a matter of fact, kill em all, this is our world now.
How we know is more important than what we know.
Hrm...selective breading of cats...wonder how that works. Extra crispy or regular? Corn flake or bread crumb or batter? How do they keep the cats from eating it?
("The BBC is running an article about how a US firm has successfully bred cats to reduce the production of the protein which causes an allergic reaction. Since the result was achieved through selective breading, there should not be any complaints from the anti-GM lobby." if they fix this one)
I know every time I've got some pussy, I've had terrible rashes and itchiness, although I've never had to pay as much as $4,000 dollars for them.
You might want to wait for the second model year. There's still some question about whether they're just selling cat oil or not.
KFG
The real question is, though, will they taste as good?
Good BYEEEEE karma
Life is rarely fair. Cherish the moments when there is a right answer.
Maybe it also happens to be the "suppress thirst for human blood" gene.
ACK! phftt!
If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people
"selective breading"?
Maybe it has something to do with catbread?
(more, originals)
I had but a simple dream, to destroy all humans.
No one "owns" a cat. What they really need to say is that there are 38 million households where the cat(s) tolerate the presence of humans. In most cases, the cats will have trained their humans to fulfill their every whim.
"To those who are overly cautious, everything is impossible. "
You can only get spayed or neutered animals from them.
And that, my friend, is why I release all of my pets under the GPL. What an outrage!
Surplus cats were sent to universities worldwide for helping out with the quantum computing effort. They go through a lot of cats that way...
Mmmm. Sweet and Sour Cat; General Meow's Chicken; Cat with Broccoli; can you send over some fried rice too? The last night programming crew is hungry.
I'm sure these are copy-protected cats. I can't wait until someone pirates one! Cheap hypoallergenic cats with eye patches for everyone!
Small cats belong in North Africa, maybe China, and areas generally around there. They do not belong in the New World or on any island.
Yeah, there are other predators. Owls are dying because cats eat all the easy prey!
Humans cause mass extinction, sure... by supporting cats. This is especially bad near beaches, because that is where people like to live. Rare beach mice are going extinct. Without them, the beach grass dies and then the beach erodes.
And "Sesame Kitten."
