Research to be published in an upcoming issue of Nature was made public on Thursday by the Wall Street Journal, announcing that researchers at Texas A&M University have cloned a calico cat.

Born December 22, the cat, named "cc" for carbon copy, is a genetic replica of a two-year-old cat named Rainbow. The cats are not identical in color and markings, however.

An Arizona millionaire gave the school $3.7 million to develop the technology because he wants to clone his dog Missy. Those efforts haven't succeeded yet.
