| | Scientists Successfully Clone Cat (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The kitten, called CC (the old typist's abbreviation for carbon copy) and now almost two months old, appears healthy and energetic, although she is completely unlike her tabby surrogate mother, Mark Westhusin and colleagues at Texas A&M University, College Station, announce in the February 21 issue of Nature. |
 | | "CC's coat color suggests that she is a clone, and a genetic match between CC and the donor mother confirms this," the researchers say. |
 | | Out of 87 implanted cloned embryos, CC is the only one to survivecomparable to the success rate in sheep, mice, cows, goats, and pigs, the scientists say. |
