I'll find some cannon fodder to post later when the gash in my wrist heals. I'd need, like, 4 band-aids for the sucker! Note to people who want to throw a cat into sprinklers: Wear gloves.
OK, so I was actually walking parallel to the sprinklers when the cat freaked, but for a split second I did think about where I should drop the cat. But I am not mean to my pets. In fact, Ebby is spoiled beyond belief.
Well, not exactly. I set her down with less than a 1 foot drop. She is 18 and has us trained pretty well. My other cats are each 15. Can't really call any of them kitties anymore but the words lazy, pesky, spoiled and "OK, I'll open the door" are frequent around here.
It's not that creepy. I guess the cats are bred where the allergy-inducing traits are non-existent or low. \
From what I hear; the non alergenic cats are hairless, as adults, they pretty much look like Mr. Bigglesworth, Dr Evils cat from the Austin Powers movies, that kinda defeats the purpose of a cat doesnt it?

No.
They aren't bred to be that way either. There is one gene responsible for the allergic response to cats in humans. The scientists simply knocked that gene out of a cat embryo, and voila had a hypoallergenic cat when they grew the embryo up...

Where'd everyone go?
Good luck, by the way.
Oh, and thanks.

I love kitties.
Hope you wound heals soon. I just cut my finger the other day with a BIG knife... work related injury. It's always either a cut or a burn...
Yeah, I just got my Associate's degree, so I know how exams are...

I still miss having a cat. Even though they give me itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose... I still love them.
They do have those genetically-engineered cats for people with allergies.

Seriously not creepy. It isn't as if they are putting a gene into the cats.
