In engineering terms I'm sure it's extremely difficult/practically impossible, but is there any theoretical reason that assuming we could scan the current state of an animals brain exactly that we couldn't simulate it in such a way?

just replicating a cat brain isn't ai, it's biology. if you can simulate a cat brain in another medium then you're onto something
