Cats have always accompanied humans since the beginning of time. And even now, cats remain one of the most favored pet animals by many families. As one of the most beloved household pets, you must be wondering how many cats there are worldwide. If you're curious to know how many of these adorable fluff balls are in the world, read on to know more!

From time to time, we update the Basepaws digital report of results for our Breed + Health Cat DNA Test. Today, we’d like to take a moment to share some details about two recent changes to our report—one for a genetic health marker linked to the common cat heart condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and one for a genetic trait marker associated with the Siamese colorpoint coat pattern.

We’re so excited to share that the latest results from the Basepaws Feline Health History Questionnaire are in! For the past two years, amazing pet parents like you in our customer and/or citizen science research community have filled out this questionnaire to help us learn about your furry family members’ physical appearance, health, eating habits, behaviors, and more.
