Well, kind of.
News has reached flanerie central of hypoallergenic genetically-modified cats (BBC story here). I am all for a bit of kitten action but I think the boffins have focused their efforts in the wrong area this time.
Sure, some people are allergic to cats. These people are usually allergic to a whole range of other things too. These people are a menace and should be excluded from society.
Meanwhile, cats are predisposed to be run over by cars. I used to own 50% of a cat called Biggles, and he was run over twice. I am still bitter about the money I spent rebuilding him the first time. Bastard.
So what we need are cats with genetically modified street smarts, and quickly. Those hypoallergenic cats are $4,000 each and it will only be a matter of days before one of them looks like a discarded toupe on the highway.
