Now another story. I was at a big Pet Expo here in Toronto, I dearly miss my cat , and there was an international show for cats there. Well I went to the exhibitor booths and salivated over the many beautifull cats.


I got into a convo with a Maine Coone Breeder, and when I asked about health tests they assured me their cats have been DNA'd. I blinked and said so what? DNA only proves parentage - Do you really mean DNA tested? Or do you actually mean you have done the genetic tests for cardiomyolopathy for Maine Coone cats? They answered yes. But they had no clue that someone from the public would actually query what they meant by DNA tested. It is like a buzz word, as many breeders seem to think and probably get from would be purebred pet owners have your dog/cat been DNA tested.


That is not the question you ask! As a result of this breeders response, I would not get a purebred cat from them.....
