The world's first specially-bred hypoallergenic cats have gone on sale in the United States.
US biotech firm Allerca says it has managed to
selectively breed them by reducing a certain type of protein that
triggers allergic reactions.
The cats will not cause the red eyes, sneezing and even
asthma that some cat allergy sufferers experience, except in the most
acute cases.
Despite costing $3,950, there is already a waiting list to get one.
