US pet owners are being offered a second lease on life for their dying cats 
by a firm that is offering to clone the animals for about $US50,000 ($A67,824) 
per "copy cat". 
Genetic Savings and Clone, based near San Francisco, claims to be the leading 
US pet cloner and has launched a commercial, albeit expensive, cloning 
operation. 
This year, the California company that announced the world's first cat clone 
in February 2002, plans to clone nine felines, six of which will be sold to 
the public, with three to be kept to show off at cat shows.
