DNA Testing My Cats and Kittens! 

The dilution gene explains why Fergie loves water, he's just genetically required to dilute himself :D :D ;)

Glitter coat variant sounds like you've got a shiny Pokémon

I'm happy to see that Ferg is still alive and thriving.

The looks on the cats' faces when getting swabbed were hilarious; like: "Lady, what do you think you're doing?" 😂

What people don't understand about cat traits is that while certain traits can be associated with certain breeds, traits can be found all across various domesticated cat breeds. Also, it's great to see Ferguson becoming such a big boy!

1:14 Ferguson taking care of the babies!! I can’t cope 😫💙💙💙

When the vet asks what breed my cat is I say, “American Cutie.” 😍

I kept thinking you were saying “delusion,” not “dilution” lol!! I was like, no poor Ferguson isn’t delusional D:

We've always called those diluted ginger cats "butterscotch" cats.

The 100% bengal is kind of hilarious because bengal cats started off as a cross of domestic cats and Asian Leopard cats. I imagine that at this point they've gotten consistent "purebred" breeding of bengals though.

I went to the shelter with my friend Peggy who adopted a cat from our local shelter. she later blasted on her social media that she had adopted an Egyptian Mao. I was there Peggy, Martin is an American short haired brown tabby Peggy. Said it right on the cage Peggy. He doesn't even have spots Peggy.

that clip of you swabbing moz and the sideways look he was giving cracked me up

I didn’t know the glitter coat variant was a thing but I literally have a cat named Glitter because her fur has always been shiny.

Ferguson is looking fantastic and my heart absolutely melted looking at him being such a good big brother to the foster kittens. Coco's DNA completely surprised me. Never saw that coming. Hahaha!

i always noticed that Haroun's coat had an unusual glow to it, but did not know it was called a glitter coat lol.

I laughed out loud at Fergie! “…he’s always wet!” I now understand why Rudy is the color he is. I didn’t realize that there is a dilution gene, but that definitely explains him. He’s buff orange. His personal favorite was the tub. Every time my husband started a bath, Rudy came running! We joked it was that he wanted “Dad Soup”.

Colorpoint is also found in ragdolls so that may be why Candyman has that pattern. But yeah, I don't get people's obsession with breeds. Domestic cats are extremely varied and beautiful, and are factually healthier than most purebreds. Breed shouldn't be a deciding factor in adopting a cat IMO. Save a cat, adopt a rescue - it's infinitely more important.

My 2 cats are a black trash eater and a tuxedo mauler. Both rescues! Who cares about anything else. I love them!

i did one of these for my long haired kitten, i thought she was just a normal cat but it turns out the majority of her dna is ragdoll and mainecoon! a pleasant surprise but that means she’s probably gonna be really big 😅

My girl Mallaidh is a dilute orange (cream) ticked tabby: half fawn Abyssinian and half orange American Domestic Shorthair tabby. After we adopted her I went down a rabbit hole researching cat coats and genetics. It's fascinating!

All of the babies tested are 100% precious! I'm so in love with Fergie.

OMG Ferguson is so big, I'm glad to see him doing so well.

My 2 girls are happily 100% Tuxedo coloured moggies, and I love every wee bit of them from tip to tail. 😻😻

Fergy! I'm so happy to see him! He's beautiful! I have always assumed that I have a siamese mix cat because of his blue eyes. He has a darker tail and ears, blue eyes and a tabby face. I'm definitely going to get this kit for him.

They are all 100% adorable. So happy to see Ferguson doing so well!

So interesting! It looks like Ferguson is doing great! Do you have to get vet treatments often? You are the ONLY reason that he is alive! Your dedication and commitment is amazing!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🐈🐈🐈🐈

They looked soo frickin cute when she's inserting those cotton buds in their mouths omg 😍😍 it's like they're eating lollipops 😅😻

So interesting to see the extra medical and traits information! :)

That's fascinating! I wish I could have done that with my first cat years ago. He was a short hair tuxedo cat but with the strangest fur! All his black fur, including the short hair on top of his head, was white on the bottom half and black on the top half, so you could even see the white poking through on his shoulder blades when his fur shifted as he walked. It was like how if you look at the individual strands on a tabby you can see different shades in layers, but with stark white and black. And a vet once told us he had some siamese in him because he had that classic deep siamese yowl.

I tested my cat actually, and our suspicions were confirmed, she is 1/8 cervil, or 1/4 savannah cat. We rescued her and were told she was hyperactive, and boy was that an understatement.

I got my rescue mutt's DNA tested a few years ago and he's 50% Staffordshire terrier, 12.5%: Australian Cattle Dog, Beagle, Mutt, and Yorkshire Terrier

I wish my Meggy girl was still with me so I could have done this kit with her! She will forever remain a mystery in that sense!!

I've always wanted to try one of these!

The most surprising thing about this is that all the cats tolerated being swabbed without clawing her hand off

Our Effie Mae (we snagged her and a sister from a farmers market - and promptly got them spayed) is definitely more fuzzy than her sleek sister, but pretty sure they are just the ol' American shorthair at least the clinic we got them spayed at figured, bc who really knows! It was fun to watch your kitty lineage vid :)

Ferguson's growing up so fast! Glad to see he's getting along with the little ones. :3

Damn I want to try this but I’m fairly certain I can’t get the cat to let me do a cheek swab 😸

I enjoyed this SO MUCH! I love you Fergieeeee! I feel so happy every time I see him ❤ he's the sweetest little dude 😍

Candyman being partially ragdoll makes sense. My sister's Ragdoll has red ears and when I saw Candyman for the first time he reminded me of my sister's cat. I also never knew that domestic cats could have a long fur gene variant. Super interesting to know because I thought Moz'd have to be a maine coone as well, because I've had a couple of Maine coons in my life and he reminded me a lot of them.

Just brought it! I can’t wait to see how my 2 cats are doing! Thanks for putting the link in the description 😊

I got your 2022 wall calendar and the day-to-day one, too. Thank you and Andrew for 2021!

I love Coco!!!! Your channel is the best, thank you for taking care of so many kitties over the years! If I had the ability to foster cats full-time I would totally do it too!

I've been watching you over the years, and seen pictures of you and your dad, and then I made the connection like wow your dad is awesome. I've been a fan for over 40 years. I also love what you do for thoughs cute babies that are sick. You are very knowledgeable. Keep up the great work that you do. You and your dad both rock in different ways. Take care.

The cats with "glitter" coats are wow so special! I didn't know about this trait until I saw my neighbour walking his two bengalese in bright sunlight last summer. They looked like shimmering statues in green grass. As shiny as some beetles. It's really something different and quite striking.

Thank you Kitten Lady for all the work you do to take care of these beautiful helpless Animals, God Bless

The expressions the cats had when you were taking the samples were so funny. 😁 Especially Moz. ❤️

I find that both my ginger tabby’s go through colour shift. They get darker as fall and winter come, and go to cream coloured in the spring/summer.

Wow!! Little Fergie has grown to be a handsome looking cat. So proud of you, Fergie!!

I need to get my hands on this stuff! We have two cats, and I'd be really interested to see what comes up!

I was hoping that Ferguson was part Catfish XD

Im a massive fan I watch your show on RU-vid every day thank u for so much insperation an kindness

So fun! It seems that coat type is not the most accurate way to guess breed. Body/face shape are better indicators. E.g. Norwegian forest cats have a very distinct nose.

DNA results start at 5:19!

It’s so interesting to see the medical information and other traits!! Cocos lineage was wild lolol. All of them are beautiful! 💜

All your cats and kittens so precious and beautiful nice video 🇬🇷🐾🐈😻😺😼👍🐾💞💖

This was interesting, and Coco is so cool, all hidden treasure. Fergie is growing well, he's so big now that it's amazing. Thank you for giving him a chance to experience life.

I loved this. That was beautiful. Thanks for a lovely video.

The cats are so adorable! 😻😻

I just got my results today for my 2 cats and I am so shook! My cat who I have always been certain is the literal poster child for American Bobtail has not a single percentage in him! And he didn't have any of the short tail variants or any short-tailed breed. His tiny tail is an absolute mystery but it was so fun to find out the truth!

This is so interesting! Thank you for sharing!

YUP!!! Best cat breed is rescued!! All of the fur-kids are that breed, blended with other breeds. Love all kitties, but Ferguson has stole my heart & I don't really want it back. He & I battle the same kidney disease. I always say to myself, "If Fergie can fight & survive... So can I!!" My little inspiration & hero. Thanks for sharing him & all the others with us!!

I can’t wait to try this on my tabby :) Thanks for sharing, Hannah!

My big boy came from a shelter where he and his 4 sisters were born. He's a big blotched brown tabby with strong patterning, an unusually long dense coat for a domestic shorthair and long whiskers. Handsome brute and although he's 12 the vet says he has really good teeth like a four year old, possibly because he is a great ratter hunter. In the UK we call a non-pedigree cat a moggy.

Amazing results and thank you for sharing, it’s really interesting 🧐.

LOVE that we can all do this!! How cool! 😻😻😻

That was fun, interesting, and educational!

Cats are so interesting. They are just lovely little friends with interesting backgrounds. It's nice to know more about their medical background.

This was so fun and interesting to watch!

This was so interesting and fun!!!

As always, an awesome video filled with Hannah’s positivity and genuine niceness. But I just had to point out the hilarious poster behind her; “Hang In There, Dumbass!” 😹

Ferguson is getting so big! I love him.

I am extremely happy to see Fergie is very healthy and happy with all you other cute kittens! Also I am a huge fan!

Another sweet, information Al vid. Luv U KL ❤️ 🐾

Aw I’ve really enjoyed this video thank you 😄

Thank you for providing a coupon code!!! I recently got a Tortie so I'll be interested to see her results!!!

Look at their little yearbook pictures ❤️ so cute!

Thanks for sharing this information!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

So interesting! Love that you coordinated your whale tablecloth with your whale watching trip 🥰

Excited, just bought a kit for my cat!

Enjoyed the video thanks for the knowledge XO

It was a very instructive video ! Thank you ^^

One of my cats is a dilute tortoiseshell. Tortoiseshell and calico cats are heterozygous for an X-linked gene that determines black vs orange coloration, and as a result, both colorations are almost always female. (The few male calico/tortoiseshell cats have chromosome anomalies such as XXY sex chromosomes, and as result, most have low fertility, too. Though you should still get them neutered!) Calico cats differ from tortoiseshell in the white spotting gene, which causes a cat to have blotches of white. Heterozygous cats are 0-50% white and homozygous cats are 50-100% white, so tortoiseshell cats are either wildtype or heterozygous white spot, resulting in little or no white, while calicos are heterozygous or homozygous white spot, resulting in lots of prominent white spots. My dilute tortoiseshell has no white that I've noticed, but a previous non-dilute tortoiseshell we had had a few white spots. And, of course, the dilute gene turns black into grey and orange into cream, leading to my dilute tortoiseshell being a gorgeous grey and cream coloration.

This is the first time I’ve seen your full time cats. Cute!

We had brother and sister NFC rescues 15+ years ago. Pure white and the male, Simba, had one golden eye and one sky blue eye. I miss those giant babies so much. They were the sweetest things

I am glad to see that Ferguson is alive and thriving. Lucky little apricot.

7:40 - I like to imagine that little meow is him saying "yes, I'm beautiful!"

This is the best thing I've seen all week lol

Ohh glitter gene variant sounds interesting ! It's awesome that candyman has the colour point variant! Wow Coco has so many cat breeds in her ancestry ! Great to learn all this information! 😊

Just bought this for my rescue found on the streets at four months old! Pretty sure she's just a domestic short hair torti but she's four now and having the health results is important to me. Excited to see what it comes back with!

Just ordered 2 for my girls. I can’t wait to see what the results are!

Even though I completely agree with you and do not care which breed a cat is at all - these videos are so interesting and fun to watch!

Very interesting. It'd be fun to see the genetic makeup of a certain 4 cats that I know. Also, it's nice to see Ferguson doing well, give him a hug for me.

Sweet, it's nice to see an update on Ferguson. 🐈⭐

Omg, I wish they had that in my country. i’d love that

Two of my cats are full siblings from different litters. I met the mom cat, two of her sons from her first litter, all of her kittens from the second litter and her two from her third litter, and saw a photo of dad cat and his brother, and a pic of the grandma cat. Grandma was a tricolor with blue eyes, mom cat was a red tabby girl, and dadcat was a cream colorpoint. This cat family was purebred barn cat! The cats I adopted from the barn cat family were Garth-a cream color point, Pea is a medium cream color point, and Reba (sadly she passed away a few years ago) was the most intensely red tabby I had ever seen! Pea’s only sibling is a red color point girl. Garth’s siblings in addition to Reba included a very red tabby boy, and red color point girl. I’d love to get Pea and Garth’s DNA done, and see how the kinship numbers shape up!

I love your sense of humor! 100% beautiful, you don’t need science to tell us that! 😂😂😂😂

Your Cat pictures are so incredible! You must be a photographer

That's lovely, how fun!

I am definitely going to be getting one of these kits for my kitty! He is so interesting and i would love to know more about him

I swear, Fergie has grown so well- He’s a very gorgeous kitty!
