A NEWS EVENT ON THIS DAY IN 2001

CC, first cloned cat

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.

SHE WAS THE FIRST CAT TO GO INTO SPACE

The First Cat In Outer Space:Before ...

Félicette, a Parisian stray, became the first—and only—cat
in space. The black-and-white feline traveled 98 miles into
space for 13 minutes before her capsule safely parachuted
to Earth.

The mission, part of the French space program, trained
14 cats to monitor their neurological and physiological
responses to spaceflight.
