If there is a market for the cats- great- but the title said genetically modified, then the OP says they are not genetically modified- so I was wondering about the contradiction.

I suppose it depends on how it's accomplished. For example, they've used gene silencing experimentally to treat macular degeneration by simply injecting a mirrored version of a vein-production gene into the eye. They aren't modifying genes, simply introducing an outside gene to stimulate a natural cellular response.
