AUSTIN, January 22, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In a development that will crush the hopes of people who wanted to clone their favourite pet or even a deceased child or spouse, a cat cloned last year by a private company has transmogrified into a completely different cat, one year later.

“Rainbow the cat is a typical calico with splotches of brown, tan and gold on white,” reports CNN, “Cc, her clone, has a striped gray coat over white. Rainbow is reserved. Cc is curious and playful. Rainbow is chunky. Cc is sleek …” The cat clone was paid for by Genetic Savings & Clone, “a company that hopes to make money from people's desires to duplicate their favorite pets,” CNN says. “Before the birth of Cc, Genetic Savings & Clone had hundreds of pet DNA samples stored at a cost of $895 for healthy animals and $1,395 for sick or dead animals.”
