Julie holds Little Nicky, the first cloned cat sold by the Sausalito-based Genetic Savings and Clone.


Little Nicky was cloned from a deceased cat owned by a Texas woman.

Ethical issues aside, that is one adorable kitten.

Did anyone see that Schwartzenegger movie where they have stores like these at malls called: REPET.

Here we goooooo......

It is NOT the cat that died but I suppose some fool will think their lost spouse,child or worker can be cloned and will be the same as the original.

I also have a cloned cat for sale. Please Freepmail me with your offers. Certified by the ACSPCA (American Cloning Society for the Preservation of Cats in America). It's a great investment that will only increase in value (well, until it dies - sell it before then).

We just had made heartbreaking decision to put our beloved 20 year old cat Mindy to sleep. She had recently developed a thyroid condition, and couldn't find off the problem because, the vet said, of her age. She was suffering so, and after selfishly trying to keep our friend and loved one with us for several weeks while she wasted away, we sadly took her in and said a tearful goodbye.

I used to call her my first born, as our daughter didn't come until three years later. LOL :)

I can understand this lady's decision, but for the outrageous cost and the abundance of cats already needing good homes. But I can't think of her without breaking into tears.

I miss my cat!!

"The kitten cost its owner $50,000"

I just spit Reisling all over my monitor.

That's one pricey kitten.

Why does a winsome picture of Tatum O' Neal come fluttering across my mind's eye like the pages of a newly minted book?

The kitten cost its owner $50,000 and was cloned from a beloved cat, named Nicky, that died last year.

I'll bet $1,000 right here and now that the owner is a complete and total psycho-b!tch.
