Another way , if your text is like this(~ represents blank)

apple
cat~~
dog~~
sun~~

It means that all word has the same numbers of colomn.

you can ctrl-v to select all and move cursor to the end of "apple" and type p to paste.

Another unix-style answer (though I would go with any of @FDinoff's solution):

:%!awk '{print $1, $1}'

And another :normal answer because there's so many ways to enjoy skinning a cat:

:%norm y$A <C-v><C-r>"

And another one:

:%norm y$Pa<space>   <-- just press the <space> bar

Use a substitue command

:%s/.*/& &

Where .* matches everything and & is replaced with the match (in this case the whole line)

Or if you really want to yank the lines you could use a normal command

:%norm yyPJ

Which is run the command yyPJ on every line in normal mode.

Note: These commands will give slightly different output if there is leading whitespace.

If you're on unix-like system:

:%!paste -d' ' % -
