Well said! Personally, its sad that they have to have their original cat back, and the author is right: its not going to be exactly the same cat. I love Nicki to pieces, but I got her when I was 22 and single. I'm a totally different person now and I am sure I'd teach her things differently than I did when I was 22 and had no idea what to do with a hyper puppy (oh my... all those long phone conversations with the dog tranier! ) Now I am older and wiser and know how to train her, how to reinforce commands, how to encourage good behavior. That in itself will give me a different dog than the one I have now. Maybe I'd also be able to clip her clone's nails! Oh, and since Allen would be a lot older, he wouldn't be pouncing on her like a maniac wrestler... she wouldn't be afraid of cats! She loved cats until Allen decided to make her his own personal toy. Cloned Nicki wouldn't have that set of circumstances... and I might have a hundred pictures of cloned Nicki cuddling with the cats!!! Talk about a different pet!
