Hey guys! I had heard about this and then found this article. Take a look and let me know what you think. Is this a good idea or are people playing God to much?

I just don't think they will have many takers for that price!:eek:

$3500 is a steep price for a cat! Especially when you can get them for free!!!

I'm not sure how I feel about it. On one hand people who love cats and are severely allergic to them can now have them, but I don't think they should be messing with Mother Nature either.

I think I'll just stick to the real thing like my little Mina

theres naturally hairless cat breeds that seem to work fine for some of those with allergies. I'm sorry, we may be smart yes, but its to do only good. We're not meant to mess with stuff like this, and it disgusts me.
