Have you noticed? Suddenly everyone's talking DNA. Genes. Genome Profiling, Cloning... it's the science buzz of the moment, the stunned recognition that deep down we're all the same, but different.
CAT Gee is the ultimate home-DNA kit, allowing you to take a sample of your - or somebody else's! - DNA, and store it indefinitely and in complete safety. In no time you'll be giving CAT Gee to your friends, your family and those you love.
CAT Gee arrives in an elegant brushed alloy container, no bigger than a DVD case. Handsome to display, it's also convenient to tuck away somewhere safe. But what's inside?
-A DNA collection kit featuring the full medical bit. Everything to collect a sample of your DNA at home, simply and painlessly; swabs, sterile pouches and a pair of sexy disposable gloves.
-Easy instructions to allow your unique DNA cells to be kept forever without requiring special storage conditions.
-The option to join Club CAT Gee and purchase fashion and fun products featuring your own totally individual DNA fingerprint. Imagine owning a T-shirt LIKE NO OTHER ON THE PLANET!
Each CAT Gee tin contains one home DNA Storage Kit (which you can do for free) and one kit to get your personal DNA Code created (extra fee payable when you join the CAT Gee club if you want it actually created).
FAQs:
Q: Is storing my DNA dangerous? A: Absolutely not. CAT Gee is just a fun kit and is totally safe in every way. Although your stored DNA can be used to create your genetic profile if you choose to join Club CAT Gee, it cannot be used to create a clone of you. So no “Boys from Brazil” syndrome. Whew.
Q: Could someone clone me if they got hold of my stored DNA? A: No. The special paper medium does store your DNA safely and kill or neutralise anything else that might damage it, but it is impossible to use DNA collected in this way to create a clone.
Q: Do I have to store my DNA under special conditions? A: No. The wonder of this product is that once your DNA is on the special paper, you can keep it at home with no extra precautions beyond common sense.
Q: How long will my stored DNA last? A: CAT Gee's revolutionary technology was invented 11 years ago and is widely used by law enforcement agencies and laboratories across the world. No one knows just how long a sample of DNA stored in this way will last, but it is certainly stable for at least 11 years.
Q: Could the DNA I store be used by some unscrupulous person to implicate me in a crime? A: Your DNA is present in nearly every cell of your body. For instance, you leave skin cells containing DNA, behind every time you touch a surface such as a glass. If someone wanted to ‘frame' you for a crime, they would be better off pulling out a couple of your hairs (with the roots still attached) and leaving these lying around, since a fragment of CAT Gee paper would only raise suspicion. DNA in human tissue decays very quickly, so the only way to store your DNA long-term, with confidence, is to use CAT Gee.
Q: Can I get genetic tests performed by the people at CAT Gee? A: No. We at CAT Gee do not run laboratories or offer genetic tests or other services.

Press Reviews:
"DNA IN A TIN - Why not? It beats poo in a bag Like something out of that dodgy Arnie movie Sixth Day comes a home DNA sampling kit called CATGee. Urgh-Huh? Wierd? That`s what we thought too. Apparently home DNA sampling of loved ones is the new way to show affection. Ok, we`re officially scared. Admittedly though the prospect of getting a T-shirt with a special code generated from your DNA is kinda cool, and that`s exactly what CATgee will be offering in early 2003. All codes are generated by a certified laboratory, but Boys Toys warns you to be on the lookout for your evil clone if you do decide you want a unique T-shirt." Boys Toys Magazine
"Once upon a time you might have kept a lock of your loved one`s hair. Now you can have the modern equivalent - his unique DNA signature - thanks to CATGee, the worlds first home DNA testing kit. The package includes helpful instructions explaining everything you`ve ever wanted to know about deoxyribonucleic acid (aka DNA), but all you really need to do is take a swab to the inside of his mouth. You never know - if things go wrong, it might come in useful for future paternity battles." Sunday Express Magazine
