How's this being facetious?
Facetious in regards to the alteration of the feline genome being wrong.
As far as food goes, eating an altered animal has no effect on the animal that eats it, in any way. I think the original poster was referring to the beaurocracy that is involved when you are dealing with an animal bred for human consumption. The FDA is very nitpicky, even when it doesn't know what it is talking about.
By it not being an animal bred for human consumption, the project avoided the tentacles of the FDA and a lot of red tape.
Vidcc's post contains another picture of a Cornish Rex- that cat was actually not shaved.
edits: for clarity FDA - food and drug administration

The hair is not the problem, other than the fact that the dander gets hung up in it. :) And please post no pictures of cats without skin. :sick:

Actually it may be.
I had 2 cats that I became allergic too. We gave them away against all of our desires and got a Cornish Rex. No allergy problem, period.
The problem with the Rex breed is that most are show cats, the ones that you can buy are rejects.
I don't have any pictures of cats without skin, but can I post a few pictures of pussies in thongs?
Re: Genetically modified cats for sale
Fortunately I am not allergic to pet dander and have enjoyed the company of several hairy animals ( some that were even non-human), but hobbes, the pictures of your hairless cat have given me hives.
Like owning a four-footed version of Mr. Six.
Thanks so much.
Off to the drug store.....

My pleasure Benadryl-boy.
BTW, I blame you for my World Series disappointment.
Re: Genetically modified cats for sale
:D :D You two :rolleyes:
But honestly, I could have a hairy cat, which I would like if it didn't have the protein in the dander that I am allergic to.
Benadryl boy. :lol: Clocker, I am afraid you have a new nick name.

I promise I'll work on my slider in the off-season.
I did think that my ass-scratching and crotch-grabbing was up to snuff this year though.

Everose,
I think the hair in Rex cats is different from the other breeds.
You will have to wait for genetically engineered cats, for a hairy one that doesn't bother you.
It is like babies. Most are born with "lanugo" hair which is a temporary form of hair that falls out. Most hispanic females are born with hair on their backs, which, thankfully, falls out.
So think of the Rex cats as having the lanugo hair which is not associated with the "dander" proteins associated with mature cat hair.

Yes, you were very impressive in the above qualities. But, just as a pointer, which is a bit of nit-pick, the ass you scratch and the crotch you grab MUST be your own. I really can't stress this point enough.
So many complaints about you, dear me, the diplomacy I have had to use to keep you in the league. I finally had to tell them that you were deaf and that you were using an obsure dialect of sign language.
