MODERATORS
When my cat passes, i will bury her and mourne her lose, and likely eventually get a new different cat. The new cat could never replace the old cat, and placing that expectation on the new one is just cruel.
Get a new pet sure, but love it for its own uniqueness.
I agree with the sentiment but I don't think the cat is going to get a complex about it.
If it meant that the owners didn't treat it well or neglected it, that would be bad.
Like when people get a puppy, but put it up for adoption after it grows up and isnt a cute puppy anymore. Similar kind of risk if the clone puppy doesnt grow up to be a facsimile of the original.
