The Genetics Behind Cats’ Quirks

​Ever wondered why your cat wants the crust on your PB&J or treats the litterbox sprint like an Olympics? Darwin’s Cats wants answers, so they’re building the world’s biggest feline DNA database.

The plan is to collect fur samples (no roots required!) from 100,000 furries and hear about their odd habits from their owners. Next, they’ll crack the code of cat quirks—like that special spot on your desk they must destroy. Who knows? Maybe next time your cat ignores you, you’ll know why.
