Update: Allerca a Con?

I blogged last week about a company named Allerca, which claimed to have bred hypoalergenic cats.

It turns out, not so much.

BoingBoing reported some very weird things about the company... such as the cats have a license agreement, so you're not allowed to sell them to other people! There was also an article at the San Diego Tribune that questioned their credibility.

Perhaps this was a publicity stunt for somebody who is close, but needs some extra capital before finishing... but that's a risky gabit, even if it is true.

One alert Boinger mentioned that the president of Allerca offered to breed a two headed cat for his father.

Creepy... and just in time for Halloween!

Oh well... its a good idea, but perhaps Allerca just doesn't have the stuff yet.
