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. Both parents are the next generation of folded-ear cats (homozygous folded-ear cats), and their 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. People who have raised folded-ear cats may find that one of the characteristics of cats is that when they reach a certain age, folded-ear cats are not very active, and sometimes they sit next to one place. In fact, this is all to alleviate their pain. In this case, I think people who have raised folded ears or are raising them will feel distressed.
The fate of folded-ear cats can be said to be the worst among cats. Since the last century, this kind of gene cat has been discovered. Because it looks good, people also regard it as a transaction. Although everyone knows that it has a genetic defect, it will be ignored for money. That's why I don't buy a folding cat. I don't think everyone wants to see their cat in pain all day. Therefore, the breeding and trading of folded-ear cats should be banned in the market to end their tragic fate as soon as possible.
