When our beloved Fluffy died, we knew that no other cat could replace her
in our hearts, so we went to a cloning company.  We shopped around, and we
ended up going with a cheap place.  What a mistake!

First off, they had the machine set to 20 copies from the order before ours,
and the guy didn't reset it.  Now we have almost two dozen kittens - WAY more
than we wanted!  They were gonna try to charge us extra, but it was their
mistake, and they backed down when I said my brother in law is a lawyer who
isn't disbarred.  Furthermore, they're all a little darker than Fluffy - as
if we wouldn't know the difference!

Also, one of the cats got jammed in the machine (literally!), and didn't
make it, and the five that came out after that have little white streaks!

I am *so* mad.  Has anyone else had an experience like this?  Maybe we can
organize a class action suit.
