A California biotechnology company has started taking orders for a hypoallergenic cat for pet lovers prone to allergies.

The genetically engineered feline, which is expected to be available from 2007, is the first in a planned series of lifestyle pets, Los Angeles-based Allerca said in a press release.

In August, Genetic Savings & Clone -- another Californian company -- announced that it had successfully cloned two kittens from a one-year-old female Bengal cat and said it could clone anyone's pet for around $50,000.


do you think anyone would want to clone my cat?

"The first"? Must mean first from that company. Aren't there already glow-in-the-dark genetically modified fish out there for sale as pets?

Yes, of course. But I had yet to comment on your cat's extreme fatness in this forum, and I thought it deserved additional notice.
