I could maybe see the worth of this if it was a $60k medical bill to save a dying cat. But even a successful clone will only be physically identical, not behaviorally. And it feels like the resemblance would just magnify all the differences.

I love cats and dogs dearly, so I don't say this lightly, but please just get a new cat (even the same breed!) and save the money for a worthier cause.

Would it actually be physically identical? Don't certain characteristics like spots/stripes/etc have some amount of variance due to embryo development?

Exactly. Identical twins don't have the same fingerprints.
