Cloning
A genetic twin, born later.
Cells from your pet grow into an embryo carried by a surrogate mother. The puppy or kitten has the same genes — and a life, and a personality, all its own.
The honest part: The first cloned dog, Snuppy (2005), took 1,095 embryos and 123 surrogate mothers to give one surviving pup. ViaGen itself says markings and personality can differ. source (source, opens in a new tab)↗
