And for $50,000 you'll get a cat but it won't be the same
cat you had for all those years. It won't have the
same memories, habbits, mannerisms.

No thanks, i'll do it the old fashioned way, go to the local
animal shelter.

I just see all those cats at the animal shelter and
can imagine them screaming they want a home.

I'm hoping to have my cat cloned eventually; I hope that he'll live another
15 years and I hope by that time the price will be down to $2500 or
something like that. I'm sure that a clone will look very similar. He's a
Balinese, an unrelated Balinese looks very similar to him. I know a clone
will behave differently and have different experiences, but I intend to keep
a log of his behavior and compare that to the behavior of the (eventual)
clone.

Paul Harvey was reporting today that if you place your order today you
may be able to get it for Christmas.
