  • 23/12/2004

A cat lover in Texas has become the world's first owner of a cloned-to-order feline, paying $50,000 for a genetic duplicate of her dead pet. Now eight weeks old, Little Nicky was produced by a California company, Genetic Savings & Clone Inc. The creature's owner, a woman in her 40s who works in the airline industry, said she was delighted with the result. "He is identical. His personality is the same," the woman, identified only as Julie, said.
