CONNECTICUT - Scientists think they've come up with a way to make it impossible to be allergic to cats.
Researchers at the University of Connecticut say they can use gene-technology to make the world's first allergy-free cats.
Scientists say they could breed the felines without a protein-producing gene. That gene is responsible for causing allergies in some people.
Scientists say they don't think removing the gene would hurt the cat. They say it doesn't appear to serve any vital function.
