Thanks to Cuddle Clones, the Louisville-based company that creates lifelike stuffed animals from images of pets, you don't have to do either. According to Cuddle Clones' website, all it takes is to "submit at least one picture (although several are preferred) and choose a few customization options (eye color, ear position, tail position)" and in four weeks time, you'll have your very own soft, squishy replica.
