“He is identical. His personality is the same,” the woman told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
That's funny, on the news this morning she said his personality was almost similar to her old cat. There's countless numbers of long haired tabbys on "death row" needing homes so most likely she could have found one that looked a lot like her old cat and saved a life. Identical human twins (natural clones) look the same and share the same DNA, but have different personalities. He's probably got the personality of most 9 week old kittens...play, play, play.

I agree with the guy in the article, she could have saved a whole lot of strays for that much money. Or at least adopted one and donated the money to a shelter. That's very irresponsible for the company to create and sell animals with the potential for health problems (just like backyard breeders and puppy mills) and she was willing to pay that much for an animal that may end up suffering from poor health...can we say stupid?

I don't really have much of an opinion about cloning, but doing it for the sake of creating more pets, which we already have an overabundance of is, ludacris.
