Description
- The Cat Ancestry test traces the lineage of your cat and provides results for common physical traits of coat color, fur length and type. The Cat Ancestry test will determine if a cat descends from one or more of the 8 ancestral groups. Once the ancestral origin is determined, comparisons are done with 29 breeds of cats to determine if the cat has similarities to any of the reference breeds.
- Cat Ancestry is a novelty test to investigate your cat's ancestry and heritage.
- Today, most mixed (random bred) cats descend from crosses between random bred cats and not from crosses between breed cats.
- The Cat Ancestry test uses DNA variants in the gene called zinc-finger XY (ZFXY) to determine gender.
- Results include a Cat Ancestry certificate with your Cat's Geographic origin, breed information, coat genotype and sex.
Cat Ancestry is a novelty test to investigate your cat's ancestry and heritage. If your cat truly is a direct relative of a breed, Cat Ancestry will detect that relationship with high probability. If a breed relationship is present, certain disease risks could apply to your cat and you may want to consider additional testing for these diseases. Cat Ancestry will determine the genetics of your cat's coat colors and fur length and which variants it secretly carries as recessive genes.
