Clone the library cat

Texas-based Genetic Savings and Clone last week opened its doors to pet lovers who want to store the DNA of a cherished animal companion in the hopes that one day they will be cloned.

The research effort expects to successfully clone Missy, a mongrel adopted from a dog pound, within three months to a year.

At least two dozen surrogate canine mothers have been implanted with clone embryos and the researchers are waiting to see which, if any, develop into pregnancies.
