I'm a newbie to editing on Wikipedia, so I didn't want to mess around with anything, but I noticed the "Cloned Cat Sold to Woman for $50,000" link is broken. - Koncur

I calculated the October 20 birthday based on hearing that Little Nicky was nine weeks old, two days ago. Dec. 22 - 63 = Oct. 21. Since "nine weeks" is inexact, I only gave myself 1 sig. fig. When the actual birthday of the cat is known, it should replace "about October 20". EventHorizon 05:51, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I tweaked the format a little, also Nicky is not the first cloned cat, he's the first commercially cloned cat. (ie not for scientific research). Zerbey 14:42, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
This could be phrased more accurately still. The company cloned Tahini for commercial purposes - to act as a test case. "Cloned-to-order" is a bit too sensationalistic for me, though. I dunno, maybe I'm overthinking things. anthony 警告 15:06, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I'm wondering: does anyone think there might possibly be a public-domain picture of this Little Nicky? I know I can find a picture of him; the problem is that it would probably be a copyrighted picture. EventHorizon 05:50, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The owner would probably be willing to let someone take a picture for the encyclopedia. anthony 警告 16:22, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Does the cat really belong to Category:2004 births? I mean, isn't the category only meant for people?  Pt (T) 14:00, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Event horizon, I replaced your estimate of the birth date with the birth date that Genetic Savings & Clone announced. Koncur, I fixed that broken link. Thanks.
