BasePaws evaluates the cat’s breed similarity to 17 of their registered breeds, grouped into four main breed groups. The Polycat, which is BasePaws’ version of a mixed-breed, is also included. They conduct 17 genetic disorder studies that have 40 genetic markers. The basepaws report provides a concise overview of each illness as well as advice about how to better care for your pet, in addition to accurate findings and risk indicators.
They also have something called the Wildcat index, which determines the cat’s wild cat ancestry and genetic disease. When matched to the other pet cat samples in the database, the tests will show you how similar your cat is to the four big cats.
