DNA TEST KITS FOR CATS

The first-ever cat DNA kit will be displayed at the Consumer Electronics Show this week in Las Vegas. A company called Basepaws is offering a test kit that reveals the genetic breakdown of the cat. The results will tell you what breeds your cat’s DNA contains and even if any wild cat genes are part of the mix. Anna Skaya, founder and CEO of Basepaws says, “Suckers!” But after that, she says, “DNA research has revealed a vast amount of useful, often life-saving information for humans. We want to facilitate those same kind of breakthroughs for cats.”
* My cat is 10% tabby, 90% psychotic killer.
* The hard part is getting your cat to pee in a test tube. It’s harder than giving them a pill.
* Can the test reveal why your cat always throws up on the carpet, and never on the hardwood floor?
* If I find out my cat’s father is Tigger, I’m suing Disney for everything they’re worth.
* Trivia question: Can any of your listeners tell why they called their company “Basepaws”? It’s a hideous pun on “base pairs”, the building blocks of DNA. The nucleobase adenine always pairs with the thymine, while cytosine always pairs with guanine.
