Like cats?
No? Neither do I. Not really. I mean I have 4 of them, but they’re so much like throw rugs that I just tolerate them. And, I tolerate them because I don’t have the luxury of saying that I’m allergic.
Well, now neither do you.
As long as you have six thousand dollars to blow, you too can no longer have the luxury of saying you’re allergic, and avoiding the whole “pet” thing altogether.
A company called Allerca produces cats that are “hypoallergenic” if you can believe it.
Now, before you say, “Ha! I still don’t have to get a cat because I don’t believe in genetic manipulation.” you can rest assured that these hypoallergenic kitties are bred to be hypoallergenic – and their genetic code remains untouched.
Allerca has essentially bred Fel d 1, the protein that causes cat allergies, out of these fine felines through simple, old-fashioned selective breeding.
Now keep in mind that “hypoallergenic” isn’t something that has to be proved. The FDA has no requirements on the use of the word.
And, if you’re feeling especially extravagant feel free to splurge on an Ashera™(yes, that’s a trademark symbol), a leopard spotted house cat – the hypoallergenic version retails for $37,000 (USD)
