5.0 out of 5 stars On time and the results made sense
Our big ahh tabby cat was brought into a shelter in Hawaii as a hurricane rescue at roughly two-three years of age, and kept for adoption as he was too nice to belong outside. My partner and I adopted him happily as he was getting snubbed for small kittens. He is now going to be roughly 8-9 years of age in September. Being that he was a stray in a place like Hawaii where rich people love to abandon their cats and cause feral colonies across the islands, we knew he could be just about anything short of exotic, so we got him this DNA test as a little early birthday present back in June.The DNA test itself was very simple, with instructions a cave man could understand, so someone easily confused by long hefty instruction manuals like me had no issues doing it. The hardest part was just getting the swab to stay in his cheek for the allotted time, and that’s more a my-cat-issue than a basepaws issue.The DNA results were exactly on time as predicted on their online site once they received the return package with his sample. We never would have guessed he had majority Ragdoll just from looking at him! But his temperament and personality are 100% a Ragdoll. He was also a Maine Coon, which certainly explains why he’s such a huge cat!They also accurately assessed his dental health, which has been bad seemingly his entire life, so we knew we were going to get “high risk” in that. We didn’t need a test to tell us he had bad breath, but at least we know they were right about it lolThank you to these guys for supplying DNA tests for cats when the market is overwhelmingly mainly for dogs!
5.0 out of 5 stars Fun
Took a while to get results and I’m not really sure how accurate it is, but it was fun to do and my mom loved it! So it’s worth the cost to me!
5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and interesting and worth the money
Well, I love genetics so as soon as I found out about Basepaws cat DNA tests I immediately wanted to have my 2 cats tested. I'm quite satisfied with the results. Basepaws compares your cat's DNA to the DNA in their database and then tells you which breed groups your cat has the most similar DNA to. And they rank the breeds in that group by how similar the DNA of your cat is to that breed. It's not like the dog DNA breed tests which are much more black & white because DNA breed testing for cats hasn't been around as long and cat's did not go through the same process of domestication that dogs did. Basepaws also tests for a number of diseases which can be very useful. Both my cats came back as carriers for a gene mutation that causes a hemophilia-like bleeding disorder, but they only have one copy of the gene so they don't have the disease, so that was a relief.Basepaws was really good about keeping you up to date on the progress of the DNA sample. I got numerous emails letting me know when the samples were being processed and analyzed. I does take a while after mailing in the samples for the results to be reported so it was nice to get the updates.All in all, this DNA test is definitely worth it. It seems pretty accurate and with more time and more DNA samples I expect Basepaws will continuously update their algorithms and send clients their updated DNA results.For now my cats came back as...Hazel is the torbie and she came back as a polycat (mixed breed) and Norwegian Forest Cat mix, and Ruby the orange tabby came back as a Ragdoll, polycat mix with a little Persian. Both had a small amount of Bengal. (I was told that Ruby is Hazel's mother, but not 100% sure.) I was expecting them to be Maine Coon mixes and I suspected Ruby had a tiny bit of Persian because she has such a pretty profile, so I was right about the Persian, but surprised to see the Ragdoll and NFC instead, but I can see it now that I know what to look for. NFC is so close to Maine Coon, anyway. The tests results have simply fascinated me. I recommend getting your cat tested through Basepaws. It's not just fun, it can be very helpful as far as health issues, too. And the more samples they get, the more their database will increase, thus making the tests more accurate and informative. We will actually all help each other to help our cats the more we get them tested. It's a snowball effect type thing.
4.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough report...results take weeks
As far as I can tell, the results seem reasonable and are probably accurate. My cat was a stray, so I have no knowledge of her background. Results showed some large breeds in her genetics and she is on the larger side of normal (vets often comment on her weight, but she's not fat). Other breeds in her genetics suggested she'd be friendly, loyal, and adventurous and that's all true as well. So although I can't be scientific about it without ordering more tests to compare against, it seems likely to be correct.I wish they would state clearly up front that results can take six weeks or so. I was checking my email and waiting and wondering. If I'd known up front, it would have saved me some worry and some time. But it seems like a good way to get some info (including potential health risks).
Great for dogs, not so much for cats
I’ve seen these done for dogs and the results are amazing. However, when I got my cat done, it didn’t really divulge a lot of information (that I didn’t already know).I think if you’re looking for basic information with cats this is ‘just okay’ and I don’t think it’s worth the money, and didn’t meet up to the anticipation I had waiting for the results.
