CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A couple in Charlotte, North Carolina has successfully cloned their 19-year-old cat, named Cinnabun, after it recently passed away.
Ashley and Brian Bullerdick found a Texas-based company known for cloning dogs, cats and horses. They bought a kit for $25,000, took a skin and saliva sample and voilà: Cinnabun II was born.
The couple says the now 5-month-old cat behaves and looks just like its predecessor.
As for a possible Cinnabun III, the Bullerdicks say they aren't counting it out, but hope this kitty lives a long, full life, like the first.
