This is not, apparently, the attitude of the moronically rich. No sirree. They tend, it seems, to think that each of their pets is one in a million. But perhaps I, Mr. Big and Clever, am missing something that only someone whose cat has been cloned can possibly share.
Just in case that was the case, I read over the following true testimonial from someone who'd gone through cat cloning, and really, really tried to put myself in the place of the poor person who had lost a treasured pet.
"I wanted to share some things with you about my baby. She has been here less than 12 hours and she is EXACT, EXACT, EXACT in all of her mannerisms, habits, traits and personality. She is already watching TV like my Gizmo and has already adopted Gizmo's favorite chair, the rocker in the family room.
"She was very vocal when she wanted something or wanted attention which she has displayed several times already, just like my Gizmo.
"I was amazed she tilted her head way back for me and as soon as she did I immediately knew she wanted me to rub under her chin, just like my Gizmo. She can't stand to have me out of her sight, and if I go in another room for only a minute, she either comes looking for me or calls out for me to come back to her, just like you-know-who always has.
"Something else that amazed me was I would always wiggle my index finger in a come-to-me motion and say 'come here' with Gizmo. I was in the hallway, and Little Gizmo was in the family room about 20 feet away, and I did that, and she came running to me without any hesitation.
"I just can't tell you how happy, how ecstatic I am. I feel like I have been born again, like I am alive again. There are no words to describe how happy I am and how very much I would like to thank you. Today I am reliving the happiest day of my life. Thanks to you and Dr. Sperling, I have the light, the love, and the joy of my life again."
At the end of the testimonial, as I wiped away my tears, I couldn't help but think: My God -- that's a lot of money to spend on a little pussy!
