"Cloned Cats Aren't Necessarily Copies

By KRISTEN HAYS, Associated Press Writer

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Rainbow the cat is a typical calico with splotches of brown, tan and gold on white. Cc, her clone, has a striped gray coat over white.

Rainbow is reserved. Cc is curious and playful.

Rainbow is chunky. Cc is sleek.

Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society might be inclined to say: I told you so. But then, so would cc's creators at Texas A&M University.

Sure, you can clone your favorite cat. But the copy will not necessarily act or even look like the original. "

So much for my plans for mini-Thrawn.

Daisy the cloned sheep had problems and died early. Too bad, she was hot.

What a surprise...

You've seen clones before. You call them identical twins. Are the exactly alike? No.
