Aw, this should have come with a cuteness warning! Looks like DSH to me. So very adorable and look at those pink toes!

Ah thank you 😊 he is a cutie! I saw the mum who was a black bsh, but didn't see dad who was supposed to be bengal! So really unsure. He has all the bengal traits! So different to my other 3 cats! But who knows 😬

You can actually pay online for a cat DNA test it's not that much and you get a report from them showing the percentages of the cats breed, it seems really intriguing to me, but it depends if you want to pay them 🫣 either way your cats lovely looking

Basepaws isn't actually a breed test if you read the fine print and it links your cat's DNA to "closest" breed, it's very misleading as you end up with people thinking their domestic is part Maine Coon, part Bengal, part BSH, etc. It's more of a scam for pet owners than anything.
