According to research, cats can contain the DNA of all humans in an environment in their fur. The study, conducted with 20 cats from 15 different households, 80% of DNA is detectable revealed that. Moreover, the amount of harbored DNA did not differ significantly from cat to cat, nor did the time it last interacted with a human or the length of its fur.
