Cat Genetics: DNA Testing, Hereditary Diseases and Coat Color

What Is Cat Genetics?

Cat genetics focuses on how DNA variants influence hereditary diseases, physical traits, blood groups and coat color in cats.

For breeders, feline DNA testing can help identify carriers, reduce the risk of affected kittens and plan pairings more safely. For owners, it can clarify hereditary risks and genetic background.

Cat genetics is particularly valuable when screening breed-associated hereditary diseases, understanding feline coat color inheritance and evaluating blood group compatibility.
