(WBIR) – At first glance, you’d think she was a typical kitten; a beautiful grey, fluffy feline with hazel eyes. But Cinnabun the second is actually a cloned cat who lives with her family on Lake Norman. “She likes to be combed,” said Ashley Bullerdick, Cinnabun’s owner. Bullerdick and her husband, Bryan, couldn’t believe it was an option when their first Cinnabun was getting old. “I can’t really put into words, but the bond was indescribable,” she said. Cinnabun the first was a special cat for the couple. They rescued her when she was nine months old as they were newlyweds. “She just pulled at my heart-strings since the day I got

At one point, the animal lovers had six cats in the house at once. But when Cinnabun turned 19-years-old, they started thinking about how they could get their special feline to live on. “We had another cat who we had at the same time; she was a bred cat.
