Hello everone, it’s me Seal, but you figured that one out already didn’t you?!?! I have something a bit different for you today, it’s my DNA report. Our friends over at Meezer’s Mews & Terrieristical Woofs recently had a DNA report done on Benji and it was a surprise to them. Well, when we had mine done it was a surprise to us too.
See what I mean, we thought I was somewhat oriental, but I’m mostly Maine Coon and Polycat. Who knew?!?! The Mom and Dad never knew where I came from, I just appeared in the backyard here about the same time that Simon did. No doubt about Simon, he probably has some Maine Coon DNA and the peeps always thought that Simon was from a litter of one of our ferals before they were all trapped and fixed. Simon and I could actually be brother and sister then.
The DNA tests also break down medical risks and the good news is that I’m not at risk for anything out of the ordinary. It was a quick and easy test and I didn’t mind it at all. Now then, I just have to adjust to being a Maine Coon gal but that’s okay, I understand that the purebred Maine Coon Angel Ivan that used to live here was very special.
I think I’ll have a nap soon, why not, it’s a good Saturday for snoozing. Don’t forget to leave your daily link over at The Cat Blogosphere for a chance to grab an entry for the end of the month drawing. Okay, that’s it for now! Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
Awww…beautiful Maine Coon.
Well that was a surprise! Whatever your predominant breed is you are beautiful. We have to start thinking of you as a lovely Maine Coon now.
WOW….who knew?! My Mom has been saying she might do a DNA test on me since I’m so HUGE but so far she hasn’t pestered me for that. Sure is interesting to know what DNA we have isn’t it! The important thing is that you have a happy home no matter what DNA you have!
Huggies, Teddy
Well Seal, first, what absolutely gorgeous pictures of you today! And then, big WOW, that DNA is not what I would have expected at all!!
Whatever “bits ‘n’ pieces” went into creating you, Seal, each and every one is just you and beautifully you. There never was, never will be … another.
Seal, that was a surprise to me too! I didn’t know you could have your fur babies’ DNA tested, so it’s pretty cool that your humans did! Regardless of breed mix, though, you’re gorgeous! 😻
We are excited to see that you have a lot of Maine Coon cat in your system. Our angel Seney what’s a registered Maine coon. It requires a lot of hair brushing though doesn’t it. This was fun for us to see where all the places in the world you’re a great great grandparents came from.
I have thought often about those tests! And you…you are fallin’ down gorgeous whatever your heritage!
OMC! We always thought you were himalayan, but there’s not even a tiny bit of that in your DNA! Guess that shows a lot about what WE know about cats… Well, you are 100% beautiful, Seal.
Wow, that’s pretty cool. You are gorgeous no matter what you are!
No matter what your DNA is you are always a beautiful girl, Seal.
Gosh, Seal…have always thought of you and Simon as siblings.
Maine Coon kitties are floofalicious, and you and Simon certainly are!
There are so many beautiful cat breeds. Happy Saturday critters!
You will always be beautiful blue-eyed Seal to us!
wow, DNA test..that’s pretty cool! You are BEAUTIFUL regardless of your DNA.
That certainly is interesting, Seal. No matter the mix of your ancestors, you are 100% beautiful, sweet girl.
Seal ~ you are beautiful as you are ~ whatever the DNA ~ hugs,

That’s really cool!
Mornin’, beautiful Seal – Well, I’m surprised! I thought you were a Siamese, but will admit I don’t know a whole lot about cat breeds. Either way, I’m happy you are healthy and at risk for nothing out of the ordinary.
seal yoo izza 100 purrsent pritty girl cat!!!
Wow! Well, that is a surprise to us too, Seal, starting with the fact that there is no mention of Siamese, and we were sure you had Siamese in you!
Purrs,
The Chans
That’s very interesting.
Seal, you are a beautiful cat! I have never heard of a Polycat.
Love the photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your critters! Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
You are such a treasure, whatever your genetics. Best wishes to you and yours, precious.
That’s really interesting. I’d like to do that with Chiana. Before she got spayed me and my partner at the time (ex now lol) thought she was part siamese or at least has some siamese in her! :-D
Good to know were you come from
Seal your DNAs are 1000% Queen of the bluest eyes I have ever ever seen.
I could get lost in those peepers.
Hugs Cecilia
Maine Coons are cool cats. And you are 100% adorable. XO
Pretty kitty!
Those DNA tests are so interesting!
Seal! We would have thought you had more Eastern/Oriental cat! How exciting to see your results! Queen Nellie Bellie was part of a study on purebred Siamese Cats. And she was! We did find out that Lilac Points were Dilute Bluepoints though. Jo Jo and Kozmo and Me would probably have as mixed heritage as you guys! Except for me, Marvelous! Because I am a Marvelous Cat! Definitely one of a kind! (just like you guys!) Keep being AWESOME! Your #1 Fan Boy! Marvelous Marv
Bella gatita.Hermosa foto. Te mando un beso.
I’m ready for a nap too! Enjoy. :)
That is surprising. There are not that many Asians in May which makes you special.
What a cool ancestry you have. It’s fun to find out, isn’t it. Have a great nap!
How cool to find out your heritage, Seal! No matter the breed, you are loved to the max by all!
We are glad your eyes took on the bit of Eastern kitty in you, MOL!
Sweet girl, you’re a most awwdorable kitty, whatever your DNA is🐱Extra Pawkisses for all of you🐾😽💞
no matter the DNA you are gorgeous and so sweet. Maine Coon you are and I am missing all of you
Sorry we’re missing comments but the famille is here and time whips by without mama paying attention to blogs and comments. She’ll be fine in a coule of days after they have gone…sigh….and sad, too.
Well lookie there…what a surprise! No matter though…we still think you’re pretty cool no matter what the test says.
We had a Maine Coon Cat and he was the sweetest animal. He really had the markings of a racoon…very brown and brindled.
Java Bean: “Ayyy, what an interesting bunch of results you have there, Seal! More went into you than went into either me or Lulu. I bet Polycat is the cat equivalent of Supermutt, which is part of my results.”
Lulu: “Maybe you and Seal could team up to fight crime. Supermutt and Polycat! I bet our Dada would have watched that on Saturday Morning cartoons.”
Charlee: “Probably so, except the proper name would be Polycat and Supermutt.”
Hmmm…I have always wondered how accurate those tests are but I do agree that you and Simon could be brother and sister!
