Breeders have been working on that for a while. At one point I was offered a cat which the breeders said was non-allergenic. It was a "Rex" cat which has very short, curly fur rather than the usual cat texture. I turned it down because (I didn't say this to the breeders) it was so ugly. There are also bald cats (the "Sphynx" breed) but they are even uglier. I think people should tinker with allergies, not with the cats. I am allergic to cats, but I love them too.
