“[The cloned cats] have different temperaments, memories and personalities.“
$40,000 for a cat with the same markings? How could there be a market for that?
Cat’s ‘markings’ aren’t genetic. They develop while in gestation. Two cats that look very different can be genetically identical.
They cannot guarantee that the clone will look exactly like the original.................
CAT: The other white meat.
More than just the markings, I’d say. Cats have a lot of “hard-wired” traits that would be reproduced as well.
The conditioned behavior would not be the same however, unless you could somehow recreated all its early experiences.
Wish I could get my little pal. Can’t believe he’s been gone almost three years now.
When our little gray cat died the last thing I wanted was another cat that looked just like him.
We now have a marmalade and a brown tiger. They bring all the joy and none of the split second hurt.
