Now, most people have a cat at home. Cats are diverse and have different personalities. People have nothing to do with hitting cats. Cats like to stick to their owners. However, among many cat breeds, one kind of cat has a bad natural fate, which is very distressing. Folding cat, full name Scottish folding cat, is one of the cutest cat breeds. Born with big eyes, small ears, round head, gentle and clingy personality, very attractive. There is a saying: "the heart of an old lady", and the loveliness of a folded-ear cat is irresistible.

But it is such a cute cat, and its fate is really the worst. Then I'll tell you why. Ear folding is a hereditary disease, which is caused by gene defect and is autosomal semi-dominant inheritance. The onset age of cats ranges from 1 month to 6 months. With the increase of age, it gradually leads to hereditary diseases of limbs, thoracolumbar vertebrae, tail and joints. Parents are the next generation of folding cats (homozygous folding cats), and the symptoms are younger and more serious!

All cats with broken ears have different degrees of osteochondral dysplasia, but the offspring of heterozygotes have mild symptoms and late onset. Every step they take, they have to bear the pain caused by skeletal deformity. Unfortunately, there is no specific treatment plan at present, and the disease cannot be cured.

In fact, folded-ear cats should not have this breed, they suffer from the pain that people don't know. Everyone likes to raise broken ears, but doesn't the owner feel bad when he gets sick after raising them? Anyway, I can't, so I advise you not to keep folded-ear cats or breed folded-ear cats. I don't know when its fate will be completely freed.
