Haven't found any updates on Copycat, but I did find out how to have your cats cloned.

it turns out little Copycat is living happily in Texas with one of the scientists who was working on the project. Chompman gave the link:

"CC is the world's first cat clone. She's alive and well and living in Texas in the home of one of the scientists who worked on Operation Copycat, the cat cloning project funded by Genetic Savings & Clone at Texas A&M University."
