If you guessed that Luigi had Maine C**n genes in his DNA - you were right!

While the shelter where Luigi was rescued suspected he had some big cat genes, his Basepaws report revealed some additional exciting surprises 🧬

His pawrents were shocked to see Persian and Exotic cat breeds hiding beneath all that fluff, but relieved to see that Luigi was not currently at risk for any genetic health markers.

Start your engines... the zoomies are coming in hot! 🏁

Did you know cats can sprint up to 30 miles per hour in short bursts? That’s faster than Usain Bolt, and pretty close to qualifying for the feline Grand Prix! 🙀

Zoomies, or a Frenetic Random Activity Period (FRAP) if you want to get fancy, are sudden bursts of energy and playful hyperactivity in cats. While seemingly random, zoomies are a normal and healthy part of feline behavior!

They're triggered when they need to release pent-up energy—after a nap, a p**p (aka poomies), or just because they’re feeling extra playful.

Does your cat zoom around the house like they’re training for the Meowtona 500? 🏎️

Jack Russell Terriers are basically kangaroos of the dog world 🦘

These bouncy pups can leap up to 1.5 meters high—that’s more than four times their own height! Their athleticism isn’t just impressive—it’s part of their DNA 🧬Jack Russells were originally bred as hunting dogs, which means they’re built for speed, stamina, and endless curiosity.

They thrive on outdoor play, mental stimulation, and being part of the action (preferably all day long). With the right exercise and consistent training, these clever pups make fun, feisty companions—just be ready to keep up! 😅
