Not all the breeds in BB will cause physical traits.

Tabby is also more of a coat pattern rather than a separate breed.

@@LunaDelTuna One of my cats do that. She is a fat, fluffy, pure white cat with one green eye and the other is blue.

ragdoll cats are one of the more allergy-friendly cat breeds and might explain why Seán can handle BB so well. it, of course, varies from person to person /cat to cat :)

I just love how BB immediately started licking your face when you picked him up and then went "Blech XP" both times when he got lotion or makeup or whatever on his tongue 😂 He’s so precious
If you watch closely, he's getting part of her hair and going "blugh" trying to unsnag it from his tongue both times. Always cracks me up when cats encounter long human hair.
@@QuantumWaltz I was just about to comment about that, my cats think my long hair is a toy, especially when they were little. It’s annoying but kinda cute
His personality is the biggest ragdoll aspect. People-oriented, loving, relaxed. His eye shape and ear tufts also look right. Although overall, seems to have been more influenced in his personality rather than his appearance.
This just becomes a public service announcement for adopting. BB is beautiful, and affectionate, even if he is an amalgamation of a dozen different cat breeds and you found him on the streets of Japan. So....don't worry about the breed. If you want a cat, go the shelter, find a cat you like and adopt it.

As a cat that was stray, you have given him a home, and his coat shows perfectly how well treated he is. It's an honor to know such an amazing animal lover.
I've had several breeds of cats, Ragdoll included, and the Ragdoll was the only one that hung like that when picked up. I always thought it was because he was so calm and just didn't want to accidentally hurt anyone. Most of my other cats would curl into themselves like a ball and want to be held like a baby.

+1 million points for Gab for advocating #AdoptFirst. I'm an active volunteer for PAWS here in the Philippines and I'm part of the Adoption Team. We always look forward to families and people looking to adopt pets :)
It’s makes sense that BB has Siamese in him. Under Ragdoll, it mentions Siamese as a related breed. But regardless of what his is, one thing is for certain: he is a lovable fluffy boy!
That makes sense also because it's not uncommon for Ragdoll breeders to occasionally mix them with a Siamese to keep the gene pool diverse and ward off defects that could be related to inbreeding.
BB's DNA origin is an M. Night Shyamalan plot twist !! it all make sense the more you read about a breed whether physical appearance or personality traits. In conclusion BB is 100% a fluffy bundle of joy

The one dislike is from a Peterbald cat that got offended after watching this video Seriously, who tf immediately dislike a video about dna test on a cat? Smh
To be honest i can see how someone would watch this and think this is a promotional video. I doubt it is one, seems like Gab was the one who looked for a DNA test and found Basepaws, not the other way around, but it's not super clear.
Are you new to the youtube or something ? o.o There will always be that small percentage of people who press the dislike button just for the sake of pressing the dislike button. xD But they most likely watched and enjoyed the video eitherway or else you would not click on the video at all.
@@MrBern91 Lmao I guess that is true. I didn't think it would be that fast for heartless people to click a dislike a button in a heartbeat on cat video. It's not like gab's had a weird cat like sphynx or peterbald (yes, I love cats. But I have a limit too). Either way, like you said, they did watch gab's video XD
BB is absolutely purrfect! The Siberian imposter kitty looked so similar! The best part about our cats and their DNA is how they get so many different physical and purrsonality traits from their unique mix of breeds!
Trivia, siamese fur starts naturally pale but darkens in response to high temperature, which is why their noses and paws specifically get so dark as they age. If BB's fur has any of that going on, it could easily darken the ragdoll's naturally pale coat to show more of the patterns he inherits from elsewhere -- and would probably explain any color changes from young kittenhood to adulthood. Likewise, if he's got so much peterbald in him, it sounds very likely that he might hold a few recessive genes for kitty pattern baldness. It doesn't show on him, but if he ever had kittens, I'd suspect there'd be a small chance of getting a single little bald bat-goblin mixed in with the rest.
Actually the opposite! Dark spots on Siamese cats developed from the area that is the coolest as the enzymes that creates the dark pigments develop better in cooler area. During summer they'll shed their winter coat and becomes lighter while in winter they'll developed their winter coat and becomes darker.
my tonkinese (so half siamese) has had her lovely dark paws, nose, tail, ears since we got her, when she was about a year old. the interesting bit for me was seeing pictures of her then - the rest of her body is super pale, while now at 14 her whole body is fairly brown. we don’t live in a cold place either! she really changed with age ahah.
Okay I know we’re all here for BB but seeing that recording of Gab in March and then the jump to her now really emphasised how much more relaxed she is now when recording without a live audience.
BB IS KING also you say you wouldn't be surprised if you were 100% Dutch but don't forget that Seán thought he was 100% Irish until he was proven very wrong 😂😭
When it comes to the savannah cat, they are very dog-like in personality. So if BB DOES have savannah at all, it’s probably present in his personality. The fact that he is so cuddly and responds to his name tells me it IS a big possibility
I was not surprised when you said he had a lot of Ragdoll in him. He behaves so much like my cat, Sev who is a Ragdoll. They're both very chill and sweet men. Also they're both dudes with a lot to say. What an adorable little guy. I like this BB centric video. He truly is a natural star!
I love that BB is a rescue cat. I have 4 rescue cats of my own and every time I see people either adopting or rescuing animals, my heart fills with joy. You are an awesome human being Gab! ❤️
My cat does not just hang if I pick her up. She only tolerates being held if she's in the mood so I definitely think BB has some ragdoll in him! Also I really love you branching out and trying different things! I'd love to see you do some cooking videos about Dutch foods!
The thing about gene expression is...it's SO nuanced. Features that define distinct breeds or even different SPECIES can be extremely subtle and specific. I had the chance to just barely dip my toes into the intensity of classification while in college. I was assigned to illustrate a newly discovered bug species. I had to use a microscope to check, double check, triple check the precise arrangement of various hairs/spines/joints/etc. Taxonomy is wild.
He always looked like a Norwegian Forest Cat / Maine Coon to me but his voice sounds closer to NFC, they tend to have gentle, soft trills as opposed to harsh meows and are EXCELLENT climbers ❤ He has a baby face so I can see the Ragdoll ❤
I love your comfy content just as much as your scary content, so soothing! I'm so glad you're stretching your bubble cause you're great at this kind of stuff too!
Thank you so much, all cat videos I have seen ppl dont talk at all and put some music, Its so refreshing finding someone that actually speak and have something interesting to say, so thank you.
That makes so much sense!! Ragdolls are supposed to be pretty calm, cuddly and like people a lot :)) they'll follow their human from room to room! he's the best boy no matter the breed tho
I always encourage friends to adopt. I foster a lot of stray kittens, and my own cat was found in a basket at my partners workplace. There is nothing quite as rewarding as finding a loving home for animals that would otherwise be put down. A friend of mine snubbed the idea of adopting and decided to seek out a breeder (you do you). When I asked why, she said she didn't want a cat that would wreck her furniture. I reminded her that my cat was a rescue and has never damaged my furniture. Long story short, she got a cute lil British short hair, who destroyed her dining chairs soon after.
When she held up the qtip to him, he looked like a criminal that knew once the DNA results come back his alibi would be no good. I watch a lot of Forensic Files.

my tonkinese (so half siamese) has had her lovely dark paws, nose, tail, ears since we got her, when she was about a year old. the interesting bit for me was seeing pictures of her then - the rest of her body is super pale, while now at 14 her whole body is fairly brown. we don’t live in a cold place either! she really changed with age ahah.
In conclusion, no matter what breed BB is, he is fully adorable.
I kinda wanna see her DNA test. I remember when Saén did his and he always said he was 100% percent Irish and it turned out he was only like 80%.
It was 64% if I remember correctly. I think was around 60% atleast.
It was Kevin that said he was 100% irish
@@skye_demon3819 And he turned out to be basically that
80% is a LOT though. It is hard to actually be 100% genetically. We are all mixed in some ways.
Finally confirmed:
BB is unique ❤
This was my first Gab video. I come back to it every now and then. Thanks for giving us a safe space in the giant world of the internet
Okay I know we’re all here for BB but seeing that recording of Gab in March and then the jump to her now really emphasised how much more relaxed she is now when recording without a live audience.
The only thing important is that he is 100% cute and you love him 100% and finally that he is happy and healthy 100%
BB IS KING
also you say you wouldn't be surprised if you were 100% Dutch but don't forget that Seán thought he was 100% Irish until he was proven very wrong 😂😭
I am living for BB's dramatic look in the thumbnail
When it comes to the savannah cat, they are very dog-like in personality. So if BB DOES have savannah at all, it’s probably present in his personality. The fact that he is so cuddly and responds to his name tells me it IS a big possibility
BB is so cute!! Also, thank you sm for still recommending people to adopt! As someone who volunteers for a cat rescue it means a lot. Adopt dont shop
He's a fluffy, affectionate, talkative lil mans
You, Sean and BB are the trio of wholesomeness.
Gab's "are you proud of me?" SO ADORABLE, yes we're proud of you!! 😭❤️
That DNA test really says he's 100 your baby
I love ragdolls. They’re so absolutely chill about being held or cuddled. They kind of melt in your arms.
I saw this title and I was like. This is the content I’m here for.
I was not surprised when you said he had a lot of Ragdoll in him. He behaves so much like my cat, Sev who is a Ragdoll. They're both very chill and sweet men. Also they're both dudes with a lot to say. What an adorable little guy. I like this BB centric video. He truly is a natural star!
"Domestic cats of unknown origins" space cat confirmed.
"So you got a DNA test for your cat and I think it's safe to say you're not related." :3
The fact you can pick up BB and he will just allow it definitely makes me think of a ragdoll, they are such sweet cats!!
I love that BB is a rescue cat. I have 4 rescue cats of my own and every time I see people either adopting or rescuing animals, my heart fills with joy. You are an awesome human being Gab! ❤️
My cat does not just hang if I pick her up. She only tolerates being held if she's in the mood so I definitely think BB has some ragdoll in him! Also I really love you branching out and trying different things! I'd love to see you do some cooking videos about Dutch foods!
BB is unknowable. He's too powerful to be pinned down to a specific breed
The thing about gene expression is...it's SO nuanced. Features that define distinct breeds or even different SPECIES can be extremely subtle and specific.
I had the chance to just barely dip my toes into the intensity of classification while in college. I was assigned to illustrate a newly discovered bug species. I had to use a microscope to check, double check, triple check the precise arrangement of various hairs/spines/joints/etc.
Taxonomy is wild.
He always looked like a Norwegian Forest Cat / Maine Coon to me but his voice sounds closer to NFC, they tend to have gentle, soft trills as opposed to harsh meows and are EXCELLENT climbers ❤ He has a baby face so I can see the Ragdoll ❤
I love your comfy content just as much as your scary content, so soothing! I'm so glad you're stretching your bubble cause you're great at this kind of stuff too!
BB is a great cat. I just want to hug him!
I think every cat is going to have a bit of mau in them since they were one of the first domesticated cat breeds
Thank you so much, all cat videos I have seen ppl dont talk at all and put some music, Its so refreshing finding someone that actually speak and have something interesting to say, so thank you.
I wouldn't have known you had this channel if it weren't for this vid-- Thanks for making it!
one thing i am certain, BB's 100% a beautiful boy
Beeb's is just in the background the whole time like "meh, am perf"
Straight here from stream.
30 mins of looking at cat pictures with Gabs with plenty of BB cameos is exactly what I needed today.
BB is the most beautiful cat I have ever seen
I have a lot of cats and they definitely don't just hang there when you carry them. 😂 BB's ragdoll is definitely showing!
"They are curious-" Bb in the background standing on his back legs to look on the table lol
That makes so much sense!! Ragdolls are supposed to be pretty calm, cuddly and like people a lot :)) they'll follow their human from room to room! he's the best boy no matter the breed tho
Don't even get my started on cat birthdays, my girl turns 5 this September and everyday I'm just like "you're so big, where did the time go? 😭"
this got me really curious if BB goes limp and hangs head down like ragdolls
I always encourage friends to adopt. I foster a lot of stray kittens, and my own cat was found in a basket at my partners workplace. There is nothing quite as rewarding as finding a loving home for animals that would otherwise be put down.
A friend of mine snubbed the idea of adopting and decided to seek out a breeder (you do you). When I asked why, she said she didn't want a cat that would wreck her furniture. I reminded her that my cat was a rescue and has never damaged my furniture.
Long story short, she got a cute lil British short hair, who destroyed her dining chairs soon after.
"I've finally making a vlog.... are you proud of me???"
Always and forever😊😊
Edit : BB so cuuuteeee
When she held up the qtip to him, he looked like a criminal that knew once the DNA results come back his alibi would be no good. I watch a lot of Forensic Files.
The thing about Siamese cats is that they are constantly “talking”. So that’s probably why BB is so meow meow loud.
BB's breed is FLOOF
I smiled throughout the whole vid, and then smiled even harder reading the comments, this was just lovely
Gab: See those little lines on his face?
BB: *looks up, questioning where*
Nap time can wait. This is important
I think we are all just happy that BB boy is a bootifol healthy meower. 😁🐈
"this is so bb!"
literally me whenever i look up any picture of a tabby cat (i have two)
hi gab! i want you to know how much you’ve helped me, i’ve been in a terrible mental state for the last year and watching your streams and videos gives me so much comfort and happiness. so thank you! i hope you know how cherished you are to everyone who watches you!💓
