50 grand seems a *bit* much to pay for a cat. Especially when so many wonderful animals die each year waiting for a nice home.

If you want a nice (ahem) cat - or two! - I'll pay you to come capture the little shits that have been crapping in my hedges, sleeping on my deck and scaring away all my wild birds.

Thanks for the offer, but there are enough crazy kitties who like to live in my backyard :).

Okay, we've officially started the accelerating slide into cyberpunk dystopia when insane rich people start cloning their dead pets. I swear, it's not gonna be five years before Scaled Composites starts construction on the Villa Straylight for some batshit-loco billionaire.

Batshit, indeed.

Yes, but it's a way to funnel money to fund technology, much in the way rich women getting nose jobs and liposuction funds people who go about repairing horrible facial defomities and scars.

Clone kitties. Clone away! Clone anything! It get's around the luddites fears of cloning and thier attempts to ban research, so IMHO, it's a Good Thing(tm).

Hmmm, I hadn't thought of it like that. I guess it might be a good thing looked at that way, but I dunno. Mostly, I agree with thudthwacker. Batshit.
