CC, for "CopyCat" or "Carbon Copy"[1] (December 22, 2001 – March 3, 2020), was a brown tabby and white domestic shorthair and the first cloned pet.

[2] She was cloned by scientists at Texas A&M University in conjunction with Genetic Savings & Clone Inc. CC's surrogate mother was a tabby, but her genetic donor, Rainbow, was a calico domestic longhair.

The difference in hair coloration between CC and Rainbow is due to X-inactivation and epigenetic re-programming, which normally occurs in a fertilized embryo before implantation.

Throughout her life, CC appeared to be free of the cloning-related health problems that have arisen in some other animal clones.

"[5] On March 3, 2020, CC died at 18 years old in College Station, Texas.
