And now we’ll get designer cats? NOT OK with me.

Would you be interested in a big cat?

A domestic cat that grows larger due to additional growth associated genes that would have the same temperament as any domestic cat?

I’ve got one who’s 15 pounds—and that’s plenty for all the lap sitting, shoulder riding, etc. He’s tall, too, so it’s kind of fun that I can stretch my arm down while I’m standing to pat him like a dog.

You can help further cat genome researcher through donations, or collecting DNA samples from your own feline friends.

My cat does not wish to participate..........But don't feel put off, she doesn't wish to participate in anything other than eat and sleep time......

Tell me a lot that my cat is pain in the a*** I still love him LOL!

Take blood samples from your cat, eh?

Good recipe for having your kitteh get some samples from you at the same time!
