There is more to sweet.maple.pup's cute face than meets the eye 🧬

Maple was adopted in 2022, and her family was excited to learn her breed mix! She has high energy and loves being outside, running around, long walks, and, of course, treats 😋 She listens very intently, tilting her head and perking up an ear or two.

Think you know what she's made of? Swipe to see if you guessed right! ➡️

Meet the ✨tortie✨ — the purrfect blend of sugar and spice!

With their fiery mix of black, red, and orange hues, these tri-colored beauties are often mistaken for calicos. But while calicos get their white patches from the piebalding gene, torties have coats with zero white - just pure, marbled magic 🪄

Most torties are female, thanks to a special genetic combo (two X chromosomes!) ♀️ Only about 1 in 3,000 are male! Known for their signature tortitude (that bold, sassy, and strong-willed personality), each one still has a charm that’s entirely their own 🥰

Torties have also made their mark in folklore and history. In the U.S., they’re nicknamed “money cats” for bringing good fortune, and some have even held famous roles — from inspiring Edgar Allan Poe to serving as a beloved station master in Japan! ✨

So iconic, they have an entire month dedicated to them 🐈‍⬛🖤

Intro to Basepaws Cat DNA Testing

Basepaws is a pet genetics company. We provide detailed insight into your cat’s health, lineage, physical traits, health, and genetic markers for potential hereditary disease. We study most common hereditary disease and report on traits which can affect the animal late in life, thus giving the owners and veterinarians a specific action plan. We can test hundreds of thousands of genetic markers and dozens of genetic diseases and are working with researchers on more data points. Every owner joins our community and participates as a citizen scientist to create a database of genetic data to be used in research. Our mission is to make life better with genetics for animals everywhere. 🧬Check out our report here ⬅️ Sign up for updates and new blogs on our website ➡️ www.basepaws.com
