Hoo hoo hoo! No, no, we're made from genetic green goo! The cats are made from cat goo, we're made from goo that's c-clones of ourselves! Hoo hoo, oh goodness, i-if I was made from cats, I'd be a cat! But you've got the jist of it, gracious me! Hoo hoo!

Perhaps it would be better to focus on the cats.
