I had no idea that was the case with IDEXX, thanks for the fodder for my gristmill!

Idexx and VCA Antech are responsible for almost all the veterinary diagnostic testing in the United States. Here's <a href=http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06177/701291-28.stm rel="nofollow">a Wall Street Journal piece</a> that's almost two years old but still gives the overview. Idexx is probably the most significant pet business few pet-lovers know about ... but all vets do. Idexx isn’t obscure at all.

They make diagnostic tests for dairy cattle and companion animals such as SNAP. To my knowledge, and briefly checking out their website just to be sure, they are not in the business of animal gene manipulation nor a competitor for Simon Brodie. He probably picked on Idexx because it's pretty obscure, as the bulk of it's products are sold to the dairy industry. I wonder if Simon Brodie is related to that other crazy Brit, Ingrid Newkirk?

Seems he's just full of ideas. Or full of something, anyways. Let’s not forget that Brodie is also the man behind ‘Flexpet’, the pet timeshare/rental outfit.

What were the Dutch buyers thinking? I don't care how exotic its supposed to be - for $40k I'd expect the cat to speak five languages and play Scott Joplin on the piano. You know what they say....a fool and their money..... $40,000 for a cat? What were the Dutch buyers thinking?
