"Garfield Weighs in . . . on Cloning"

Here's what Garfield has to say about cloning in the August 2007 issue of Cat Fancy magazine.
"[Cloning a cat] is not exactly what people think. The first successful cat clone was named CC (as in Carbon Copy. Get it?) and was born in December 2001. Scientists in Texas transplanted DNA from a calico named Rainbow into an egg with the nucleus removed. Then they implanted the embryo into Alfie, a surrogate mother.
Was CC an exact reproduction of Rainbow? Nope. In face, CC's coat was a different color, even though she was a genetic match with her mother. The differences didn't stop there. Rainow was reserved. CC was curious and playful ...It turns out that there's more to the equation than genetics alone. Environment plays a big part in shaping a cat's personality and temperament. As for appearance, having the same DNA as another calico cat doesn't always produce the same coat pattern. So everyone who expected an exact copy (like I did) would be pretty disappointed. The experts say that cloning doesn't produce a physical duplicate, and it can never reproduce the behavior or personality of a donor cat. Every cat is unique, and thus irreplaceable. You can't use a clone to resurrect little Fluffy once she's gone off to chase that big yarn ball in the sky. . . "
