While feline DNA tests such as Wisdom Panel or Orivet provide valuable genetic insight, it is important to understand their limitations. These tests rely on current databases and statistical modeling, which means results can occasionally be incomplete, slightly inaccurate, or misinterpreted—particularly in pedigreed cats with complex or diverse bloodlines. As genetic research evolves, interpretations may change, and results should never be viewed as absolute or diagnostic on their own.

That said, utilizing DNA testing as a breeder is considered the bare minimum standard of responsible breeding. While no test is perfect, these panels help identify known genetic markers, guide informed breeding decisions, and reduce the risk of producing kittens affected by inherited conditions. Ethical breeding does not rely on DNA testing alone; it must be combined with advanced health screenings, veterinary evaluations, and ongoing monitoring. When used responsibly and interpreted correctly, DNA testing remains a necessary and valuable tool in preserving the long-term health and integrity of the breed—even with its limitations.
