For your cat list

Considering the prices Maine Coon Cats go for, she may have come out ahead on the deal.

For some odd reason the movie Pet Semetary keeps running through my mind.

I hope that cat doesn't go for the jugular when she's sleeping.

My cat is convinced he IS cloned.

$50,000 for a cat, from a woman who works in the airline industry?

This doesn't smell right - maybe the company made her a deal, like charging her $500 for a kitten in return for the photo-op.

Re-Pet... Now what Guvenator movie was that from?

The thing that many people do not realize is that the cloned cat is not the same as the original," said Bonnie Beaver, a Texas A&M animal behaviorist who heads the American Veterinary Medical Association

Bonnie Beaver?

They've been cloning Marxists a long time, marketing them as DemoCATS....

"It's morally problematic and a little reprehensible," said David Magnus, co-director of the Center for Biomedical Ethics at Stanford. "For $50,000, she could have provided homes for a lot of strays."

I agree with Mr. Magnus. The woman must have a very sad life.

[Happygal]

Wow! That's pricey roadkill!

[Angry Republican]

My Viking Kittie does not think this should be legal.

Aside from human cloning, which has been achieved only at the microscopic embryo stage

Legally, anyway

Does that make it a...
Copy Cat!?

(Oh yeah, I went there.)

[Capriole]

I don't think I'd ever pay much money to buy a cat, beyond what a standard pet-quality Siamese costs. But I have often reflected that I would like a clone of my dog, who is mostly Basenji, admixed with some other mysterious thing like AmStaff or goodness knows what else. He is the best dog I've ever had, a very charming, very intelligent personality boy. Everyone who meets him adores him, and I do wish he hadn't been neutered before I got him so I could get more like him. Maybe if the price comes down radically and the dependability of the procedure goes way up, cloning is the answer.

I have a black cat. Of course the moral of the story is a clone is NOT even an identical twin! If we were cloned, we'd have different personalities and interests simply because our life experiences would be different. Reminds me of the Hitlers in The Boys From Brazil. They may have looked like the original but where it counts, they were nothing like him.
