Loulabelle,

Yes mam. That’s what I was approaching. If identical human twins who are raised apart, whose nurture is the different, develop distinct personalities, why would one expect other animals to be different? As the context within which the cloned cats were raised would be different, I would expect that the cloned would be a “different” cat from the parent.
