A cloned cat in Qingdao, Shandong province, is currently seeking a potential partner, and its owners－a research team from Qingdao Agricultural University－posted a "seeking marriage" notice online for the 9-month-old feline last month.

The cat is believed to be the first to be cloned at a domestic university. Researchers said that a partner would help further research on the viability of the cloned cat's reproductive ability and cloning technology.
