  • Interesting!
Size: Cat Breed + Health DNA Test Color: Basic
Took about 8 weeks or so but that’s ok because it’s not like I was waiting on anything. I was just curious about my Maine Coon. I didn’t include a photo or much detail to see how close it got. The results were very informative and so happy to see my baby doesn’t have any major genetic issues.

  • So fun, but be patient!
Size: Cat Breed + Health DNA Test (2 Pack) Color: Basic
This DNA kit was so fun and the instructions were really easy to follow. The cats didn’t want to follow the instructions too much, but I’d researched other test kits and this one seemed the easiest to do. My cat usually needs 3-4 people just to give her annual vaccines, but we managed to collect her sample with just two of us. The results do take a while to come back and it’s not the cheapest item, but getting the results back was so fun and definitely worth it. Plus, you’re helping contribute to cat research! ... show more

  • Good for those who are curious!
Size: Cat Breed + Health DNA Test Color: Basic
I got this test out of burning curiosity, because my vet said that my cat may be a Maine coon mix even though I found her as a stray under a car. My cat is pretty good about being handled, so the test was easy to administer. The wait was the hardest part. The test results came at the end of six weeks. Sure enough, she was mostly polycat, and a close second is Maine coon. She has some other DNA too, and the personality of those cats definitely lines up with her. It was nice to see that she doesn’t have any major health risks, because I was considering pet insurance for her. It helped me make a decision. They didn’t get enough of a swab for the oral health portion, and they sent me a new kit for free to test just the oral health. ... show more

  • Genetic testing kits for cats
Size: Cat Breed + Health DNA Test Color: Basic
This is similar to 23&me for the cats. We received the kits from Amazon very quickly, however, the tests take much longer than we expected. We eventually got the results for our two cats, and we are not too excited (may be a little disappointed). But we did get some information about our cats' breed and health status, so I think it is worth the price. ... show more

  • "polycat" isn't a breed and it's the main breed they called my cat
Size: Cat Breed + Health DNA Test Color: Basic
As I read my cats results I saw the breed area. The main bred they classified my cat as was "Maine coon" (20.1 percent). That shocked me because my cat isn't even 8 lbs. She is short haired, no ear Tufts, small, non-muscular frame. She hates water. She is all white with a few black hairs on top of her head. Then I noticed this category called "Polycat" (not even a breed) with no defined breeds under it and said my cat was 21.22 percent this category. Um... I thought the reason people were doing these DNA tests was to find out what breeds their mixed cat was, not to just say the main breed is an unknown mixed breed with no characteristics about what that fake breed meant. Most people know their cats are a mixed breed and it's why they are having this test done. Why not call it unknown because that is basically what was done here. Since I actually did this test because my now 11 month old cat is having major health problems, it makes me not trust the results if they cannot even get the breed right. My now 11 month old kitten is having seizures, tremors, intension tremors, ataxia, vestibular issues, issues getting her claws stuck out, she struggles to walk after resting or sleeping and even push herself up, she has a head tilt, she goes to jump up and misses her mark jumping too short. She relies a lot on her claws by gripping the carpet to get around, but she walks and runs normally at times too. She has seen a neurologist who doesn't know what is wrong with her, but says Multifocal brain disease or vestibular disease are most likely based on her symptoms. Given she might also have kidney disease too, we didn't do an MRI or a spinal test because they cost thousands of dollars each and even the neurologist said they mights show her nothing or show her the symptoms of what is wrong without the actual cause and that most causes are likely incurable. How much life she has left is unknown, a seizure could take her any day (or kidney disease in a year), and she has short seizures almost daily that are not completely uncontrolled by the meds the neurologist put her on. I also have allergies to cats. My cat is white and doesn't bother me as much as some cats do (and I grew up with white cats who didn't eitherwho looked the same), so we decided to do the DNA test. At best result we would see a health marker that explains her issues, at worst we would at least know her hidden breed (since she is white) so we would know what cat to get in the future (when she passes) to know which cat might not bother my allergies. When I read the health report, I was amazed that there were actually like 7 conditions that were neurological in the report, however my cat didn't have any of the markers for them. I was excited reading the names because three of them were things I had found my cat might have when doing research based on the symptoms of the health conditions. So it's kind of disappointing my cat has neurological problems, but none of these came back as markers she has. Her condition could be infectious disease related though (even though the vet neuro tests all came back negative), so she could have other things going on to explain this beyond DNA tests. It also said she has genes for black fur, and that her coat is a gene that makes coats be faded or white (okay, anyone could get that just by looking at her or her picture, which I sent). The only oral health marker they noted her having was tooth resorption. She is too young to know if that will be a problem. The health issues she is noted to have is factor 12 deficiency, a blood clotting disorder. She had a surgery done no problems, so at least so far that doesn't seem to be a problem for her. I will take these results to my vet soon, but they don't explain anything she has going on, which is disappointing. The biggest disappointment though is not even trusting the breed results. Hopefully my baby passes before she has to struggle with any of these other painful conditions if these results are accurate. She shows no signs of being in pain to date even with the problems she has. She is very social and likes to be cuddled in blankets and sit in your lap. She likes to hunt and play. She walks and runs crazy and falls over all the time and gets her claws stuck in things, but she is our baby, she wants to be near us and play with us. She is also super smart. She isn't agile enough to do those word buttons, but when you say anyone's name, she knows who you mean by either going to their room or getting exited when you tell her that her favorite playmate is home. She knows words for "scratchy" (scratching post), mousie, food, play, treat, downstairs, and "go to bed". So even though her brain is failing her body, it isn't failing her intelligence. So she will be our cat as long as she isn't in pain or hasn't succumb to her unknown condition. So overall, this test didn't tell us health issues or breeds that make sense, which is disappointing. We didn't just do this test for fun, which seems to be the main thing people feel they get out of this by reading other comments. ... show more

It took about a month to get the results. The results were amazing and so interesting. I did not realize that there were so many different cat breeds very cool..

I was very interested in what my cat was, and from when I sent the test bad to when I received the information was 2+ months. Just be aware- not too bothered but might have thought twice about it

They never gave me my results, they were nice enough to give me a refund, when I asked for it. It was 2 months waiting. I found out that a different test, starts with a W, is 7-10 days for results and much more accurate.
