The cloned kittens, Tabouli and Baba Ganoosh, will be on display in a special container but will not be available for handling at the pet show.
Both kittens, bred by Genetic Savings & Clone, are almost identical to each other and the original cat, named Tahini, Local 6 News reported.
Genetic Savings & Clone offers customers a chance to replace their deceased pet for $50,000. The company also charges about $300 to store pet's genetic material, according to a report.
Company officials said customers should not expect their pet to be resurrected but they can expect physical and even behavioral resemblances.
Five customers are paying $50,000 each to clone cats that have since departed, according to the report.
The show will take place Saturday and Sunday.
