The world’s first cloned cat—CC, or Copy Cat—was born in
a biomedical lab at Texas A&M University. CC, who lived for
18 years, had all the physical attributes and indifference
toward humanity of any other kitty. Her birth kickstarted
a global pet-cloning industry.

On March 3, 2020, CC died at 18 years old in College Station, Texas.
CC went on to have her own kittens, who were healthy and genetically unique.
