In case you hadn't heard, scientists have created "hypoallergenic" cats for people with allergies.
Actually, for rich people with allergies--they are almost $4,000 each! You can read the whole story on the BBC.
Personally, I am highly disturbed by this. What is next? Creating cats who don't shed? Cats who don't catch birds? Cats without claws? Sigh.

We heard about this, too. There's also an article in National Geographic: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/06/060609-allergies-cats.html
They say there is no genetic modification and it's just "selective breeding," but we agree - it's creepy!
I agree - there's another one that I think is even more creepy - the Munchkin Cat, bred to have very short legs!
Munchkins
Do you think they might breed out tuxedo cats?? I'm scared!
