Did you know that 80% of cat breeds have only been around for 80 years; and there are only 40-70 recognized cat breeds (compared to the 195 dog breeds)? We're diving into the world of our feline friends with the experts at Basepaws, a pioneer in feline genetics -- a field that has been understudied and underfunded for years.

Beckie Mossor, Basepaws' head cat coach, walks us through how our cat's DNA holds many of the mysteries about their personalities, behaviors, and overall health. Learn more about getting your cat's DNA tested by visiting Basepaws website!
