UPDATE: Basepaws fixed the Giveaway link! So if it wasn't working for you before, please try again now! Good luck cat lovers. May the odds be ever in your favor! 😸🎁
I love genetics!
Sometimes in my freetime I research horse genetics, it's an interesting topic. And it was nice to learn a bit about cats, though I already knew number 8 and 9.
Also, I have a calico cat (she is female), and she is the smartest cat ever!
It's definitely an interesting topic! 😺
What a great and educational video! I myself have a female orange tabby and I know she is a very rare girl! I would love to get the DNA tests on her. Thank you so much for making and sharing this video. 😻
How sweet! I have yet to meet an orange tabby female, but maybe one day! Glad you enjoyed it and good luck. 😺
I watched this with one of my cats! My youngest daughter makes fun of me for it but hey, I enjoy them! 😊
That's so cute! No judgement from us. Maggie also loves watching cat videos. 😺
this video was so cool, I'm happy to have found your channel recently! I'm a vet tech so content like this helps me tell clients small fun tidbits of info about their pets. I'd love to win the giveaway as I have 2 rescue boys that are HALF-brothers lol (same Siamese dad), it would be very interesting to compare their genetics + winning one test could help make that more affordable :)
I'm so happy to hear that a vet tech enjoys our videos! 😻 That means so much. Thank you for all that you do for animals! Good luck with the giveaway. 😺
they have, a floating clavical. thought this was interesting. not so much a dna (i guess) topic but thought i'd share. my daughter's fascinated with the skeletal system so i did research on cats bones vs humans & found this out
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. 😺
that’s one smart baby!! 😛 😂 j/k
@@threestans9096 she turned 3. she luvs watching "spooky scary skeletons" or anything skeleton & luvs 2 know parts of the bones & such
6:44 I love the surprised look of the cat when he realizes that he only need one copy of the gene.
Interesting. I learned a lot from this video. I have a 20 year old tortoise shell cat. And entered for the free dna test kit today.
Thank you for sharing these wonderful DNA facts for cat lovers! Good luck to all who entered the giveaway, and feel free to reach out to us with any questions 😻
Thank you for offering such an incredibly helpful test for cat parents! 😺
Great information
Glad you think so! 😺
1:19 so that's why cats look and act a lot like humans
My cat is the daughter of my mother's cat. She is huge like her mother but her dad must have been a ragdoll or something. I worried about her looks when she was born but she is so beautiful!
This is very interesting. I did DNA on myself but had no idea you could do for cats. Great video.
What a time to be alive, right? 😸 Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice, educational and you kept it interesting... Thanks 🐾✌
Glad you enjoyed it. 😺
Great video! i have no idea what a mix of breed my cat would be, i found him under a car! now he's 1 year old :)
Chances are you'd be surprised! We didn't know anything about Maggie's background either. So the small similarity to the Maine Coon was a big surprise! 😺
My Manx and I have been through the worst situations I could imagine together including 2 years of homelessness. I have him registered as a service pet for my CPTSD and anxiety. He is the only loved one I can truly say I have. So it would be a blessing to know the ways I can prolong his life through test results like these to keep us together much longer. I don't know where I would be without my Brody. ❤
Please enter us into the giveaway!
It's heartwarming to hear that you and Manx have such a strong bond. Good luck and keep staying PAWsitive. 😺❤️
Whew I click on the link it says the giveaway is not available in my region. I live in West Virginia.... help!
@@vanessajones352 Hi there! Another viewer had the same problem. All 50 states are supposed to be eligible. I just contacted Basepaws, but I would not expect a response until Monday since it's the weekend. Please check back on Monday evening. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. 😿
@@vanessajones352 UPDATE: The Giveaway link is now fixed! Please try again. 😸🎁
There's also torbies (tortoiseshell tabbies) and calibies (calico tabbies) that are virtually female only as well.
Man I'd love to win the DNA test, I have a cat we think is part Maine Coon, but we aren't sure 😅
I have three orange cats, siblings, all females.
🐈⬛🐾🐾 🐈⬛🐾🐾 my boys find this video Purrrrfectly wonderful…
That's PAWsome! I'm glad they liked it. 😺
All cats and dogs need to be hugged and kissed and petted and bathed
Wow! Super duper fascinating! Love the kitty footage and the cool dna test kit info❤️
I've been a cat LOVER my whole life, I have even been able to figure out bits and pieces of their language!!! You can't imagine the looks I get from cats I don't know, like a stray or someone else's cat when I give them a couple different meow tones!!!! It stops EVERY one in their tracks! Whaaaaaah?????? He knows my language??!?! Impossible!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I LOVE OUR FELINE FRIENDS SO MUCH!!!! Can't imagine life without them!
Hahaha, that's great! I can't imagine life without cats either. 😺
I’m excited about this. I’m going to Basepaws now. Thank you for putting this out!
Awesome! You'll be glad you did. 😺
My dad had a fertile male calico cat! He found as a kitten stray! My purebred late tux died of diabetis! My current cat is mixed but half korat which is a rare breed!
I think the health markers are the most important part of the report. I only wish this test was around earlier.
Excellent video! Thank you very much and have a great weekend!
I totally agree! Thanks, same to you. 😻
My grandparents have a female Orange Tabby actually! Now I feel lucky to know her :>
My calico was a female. My orange cat she gave birth to was a male.
Purring Journal
Very interesting!!
Thank you for sharing ..
Salutations from California 🐾
interesting and nice photography
I’ve had two female orange cats. Both were small.
How pawsome! 🐈🐈
bellissimo video e molto istruttivo..soprattutto per quel che riguarda i gatti di razza
cosi come per i tabby arancioni che sono sempre o comunque molto spesso maschi e sono tra i miei preferiti..
I always wondered if they had a genetics test for cats, I see the one on TV for dogs all the time. Thank you for letting us know about it!
Where do you get the cute cat clips to make your videos? They are great!
Is there any way to send ones from your viewers for you to use, or are they just things you find that work with the video subject? Some of those videos make my heart melt! 🥰👍😻
Pretty awesome, right? I'm glad you found it helpful. 😺 We have a subscription to a stock footage site where most of the clips come from😺 Currently, I don't have anything set up for video submissions. But I have thought about adding a submission tab to our website. 🤔 If we ever implement that, I'll definitely make a community post and/or mention it in a video. 😺
@@ThePurringJournal That would be fun! only issue would be being inundated with cat videos from owners 😸
Chaos & I love these vids!!! We hope we win!!! Huggles!!!
One cat comes to my house daily and I feed him. He has white fur and one yellow eye and other blue eye. I named him Furry.😍
Our neighbor had a small tortoiseshell cat and her babies from a large stray white and orange tabby male turned out to be another small female tortoiseshell, large white and orange tabby female, large white and orange tabby male (we took him), and a small pure orange tabby male (we took him, too). The boys were inseparable and had good long lives. Interesting how the two who most looked like their sire were his size and the other two where the size of their mother and followed the listed genetic types in this video.
That's pawsome! 😻
Very interesting might be a good present for a cat lover
Oh yes, this would be a PURRfect present for a cat lover. 😺
Cool! :-)
I have 5 kittens and got this DNA test for each of them! They only cost $80 each if you buy in bulk. Still waiting on the results 😀
Did you ever get results?
@@jessiematarazzo4947 yep! Seemed accurate as far as I could tell. They're online and you can save them if you need to.
my female cat was a siamese calico mix
That sounds fun
So interesting..I have a tuxedo girl with central heterochromia.
I really like your channel, I consider it the best🥰👍💋💐😘💓
Thank you so much! 😻 I'm glad you enjoy it.
@@ThePurringJournal 💐💋💐
Awesome video
Very interesting.
You best!
They say cats are only bred for their looks but…I’ve often considered breeding cats based on their sociability or ability to mimick/solve environmental puzzles or play = train. Basically, give them a bit of a helpful nudge in claiming true sapience -they’re nearly there already. They adjust their vocalization frequency in response to us, and they develop an actual Pidgin to communicate with humans and other animals but mostly humans-
Yes sociability is important. I raised five kittens for the Animal league that someone abandoned and although they had the same amount of friendly handling most of the kittens were outgoing and two were shy and were scared of noises and less exploring. Of course all of them were fixed later but if you were to breed cats for sociability I would breed for the ones that were born less shy because although one that I kept that is shy is is friendly to me and other strangers but more shy of strange noises in exploring new places and the outgoing one always stayed outgoing and not as afraid of noises and exploring.
Of course I want the best health possible for my best friends, so it would be incredibly helpful if I could know the whole DNA situation!!! So cool!!!!!!
What a time to be alive, right? 😺
Hello
HIV
Cat's can get it as well 😉
I just LOVE your videos 😍😍😍😍
Very interesting
Oh I love genetics both cat & human. I took a swab & found out, I am 93.8% North American Indigenous/Eastern Asian, along with Irish, French & Sub Saharan in there also.
Very interesting! 😺 Isn't it fun to learn about your genetics? My husband (the narrator) didn't know half of his ancestry because his dad is adopted. So he loved doing the 23andMe test.
Yes, the giveaway link isn't working right. It comes up saying "Sorry, this promotion is not available in your region" and I'm here in the US. lol. But I thought this video on genetics was fascinating!!! I once seen a male calico, first and only time in my life!! He was up for adoption. I always regretted not getting him!!!😾
I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yes, I contacted Basepaws, but I doubt it will be seen until Monday (since it's the weekend). Please check back Monday evening. Sorry for the inconvenience. 😿
UPDATE: The Giveaway link is now fixed! Please try again. 😸🎁
What would you say are the genetics of black cats? . I have one black cat who as a kitten had some of their siblings look full Siamese but the mother at least was not Siamese but I know the kittens could have different fathers.
I like all ten facts!
Glad you liked them! ❤️
@@ThePurringJournal Thank you!! Purr 😻.
Why are there cats with very short legs? Have they been bred for having short legs?
Yes, they are called Munchkin cats! 😺
Yes humans breed the cats with genetic mutations similar to dwarfism. Most pedigree cat associations across the world refuse to recognize munchkin cats due to the unknown welfare of the breed + possible health issues (ie that its cruel to breed these animals for looks when they may likely have potential spinal, chest, bone problems).
This video encompasses a lot of traits from my cat's mom and dad on through all of her kittens.
The focus of this is Spectre. He is my white cat with heterochromia iridium trait.
His daddy is a white cat like he is, except he has 2 blue eyes and he has unimpaired hearing, according to my vet.
His mommy is a calico. The main part of her body is orange tiger, but she also has large patches of brown tiger in her, and then white feet and throat.
Spectre's mother has had many kittens in her lifetime. Among them, she has had 3 orange tigers, all of them male. She had a gray tiger with white feet, also male. All of her brown tiger babies were female except 2 of them, both of which had white feet and throats. She has had 2 of them that were black, one male, one female. She also had 2 white ones (one of which was Spectre), with the other one having blue eyes and being a female. But Stella had one of them that was a chimera. She was similar to a tortoiseshell, but rather than it being a brown tiger/orange tiger mottle, it was a gray timer/orange tiger mottle, but she had an orange tiger face and a gray tiger face. Both of her eyes were green, which I expected, considering it was a gray tiger tomcat that sired her. All of her babies were either short hairs or medium hairs. She was a shorthair, and it seemed like the density of the kittens' coats were determined by the father in every case.
I would love to know my LuLu’s DNA. She is a Manx.
My family has a manx too. Jet black. And before we moved to another state we’d sometimes see other black manx kittens at our local petsmart (so we’re almost positive that they’re either related to our cat or might’ve even shared the same father, since obviously they all came from different stray litters)
I clicked on the link to enter, but it states that the promotion is not available in my region and I live in California. 😞
Oh no! All 50 states are supposed to be eligible. I am going to contact Basepaws now, but I would not expect a response until Monday since it's the weekend. Please check back on Monday evening. Sorry for the inconvenience. 😿
Thank you so much! I really do appreciate it.

Im so glad your cat is clear 👍 But me& my cat are ostriches You cannot defeat fate no matter 😻
It was relieving to find out! 😻 Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by "ostriches?"
@@ThePurringJournal It is said that ostriches put their heads in the ground ( not true)
A saying if you dont want to hear bad news
Something like 🙉🙈🙊
@@totti. Ohh I see! Thanks for clarifying, haha. 😺
Basepaws is a rip off! Don’t do it. Results are too general and not specific. It cost me $160 and I was left confused.
