CC s surrogate mother was a tabby, but her genetic donor, Rainbow, was a calico cat calico domestic shorthair. The difference in hair Animal colouration coloration between CC and Rainbow is due to epigenetic re programming, which normally occurs in a Fertilisation fertilised embryo before implantation.

CC is Genetics genetically identical to Rainbow but epigenetically and thus Phenotype phenotypically different. The embryo that became CC was the only one of 87 embryos produced in this research project that developed into a full term pregnancy after being transferred to surrogate mothers. The research project that produced CC was known as Operation CopyCat, and was part of a larger project called Missyplicity to clone a dog named Missy. Genetic Savings & Clone , which provided commercial gene bank ing and cloning services to pet owners and which closed in 2006, funded the research.
