    Abstract: This invention is the first cat cloned by nuclear transfer, as well as any subsequent progeny produced by regular sexual reproduction. Nuclear transfer methods and techniques involving feline somatic cells, nuclei, or nuclear DNA, and the products thereof, are disclosed. In a single experiment 3 cloned embryos derived from the cumulus cell line and 2 embryos derived from fibroblast cells were transferred into a recipient female cat. Following embryo transfer after the period of gestation, a kitten was delivered. The cloned kitten has the exact DNA fingerprint as the cumulus cell line of the adult female cat from which the cumulus cell line was derived.
