I agree with you. Besides their soul, you can't clone a personality. That is formed not just from genetics but from life experiences. A cloned puppy would not have the same life experineces so would not have the same personality.
And from the pictures I've seen of cats they've cloned they are not identical to the original. Different color and markings. I thought the idea of cloning was to get the "same" animal. If not then, it's the same as breeding them and IMO, that makes cloning unnecessary.
I'm with you. None of the ones I have can ever be "replaced". I love each for who they are and will love new ones for who they are. I would not consider cloning.
