Do you suffer from allergies? Are you allergic to dust? Gluten? Pets? Well sneeze no more because CGFC Industries brings to you "Sniffles" the Hypoallergenic, Gluten Free Cat! Sniffles is factory sealed and only 5% fat. What's more he is 100% guaranteed to be free from peanuts. We have statically decharged Sniffles to automatically repel dust. Look! Even balloons don't stand a chance of sticking to him!

We did a simple test. This is Mrs Ethel Skruds. See how when we rub her face with an ordinary, household cat her head swells up like a Watermelon? Well look what happens when we do the same thing using Sniffles. Nothing! It may not look like it, but no additional swelling occurred during the filming of this sequence. 

So buy Sniffles the Hypoallergenic, Gluten Free Cat today whilst it is still legal.
