$50,000 plus her previous cat’s DNA == a thrilled woman in Texas. Genetic Savings and Clone made their first sale, a Maine Coon cloned for a woman who greatly missed the cat she spent 17 years with. She claims the kitten is just like her previous one, saying it loves water and jumped right into her bath, not very catlike. However, Maine Coons love playing with water, so it’s a trait of the breed not just her cat. Although I’m a “pick a pet at the pound, fer-goodness-sake!” person, it makes more sense to me to clone a difficult to replicate mutt who happened to turn out wonderfully rather than duplicate a purebred. Then again, cats all have their own unique personalities…all the more reason to find a new character to love — at the humane society fer-goodness-sake!
