Because it's rather unusual and a non efficient way of paying for a cat that looks like your old cat... I am mostly trying to understand the reasoning behind the spending.

Wasn't researching for a very specific cat for a bit more money than a shelter one not an option? I mean for 5k$ you can get a pretty awesome one and it can be pretty much any cat of any species and colour you want. Especially if the clone is only going to look like your old pet.

What made you decide to keep this child and care for it? Are there even options if you didn't want to deal with this(Adoption, foster care, etc etc)? I feel horrible asking this like that, but have you ever thought of ending the child's life?
I feel like this is a part of assisted death that should be thought about same as we do with the suffering elderly.
