Fold-eared cats are born with ears. Folded ears are the product of genetic mutations, and most mutations are harmful to the species. Normal cat ears stand upright, so almost all cats with folded ears have more or less skeletal defects.

Symptoms of the disease in cats with folded ears:

1. When a cat with folded ears appears in an abnormal sitting or sleeping posture, you need to be alert that the cat with folded ears is already sick.

2. The tail becoming stubby, stiff, and unable to bend and swing is also an obvious symptom of the cat with folded ears. At the same time, the joints of the cat with folded ears will also be stiff, deformed, and unable to bend, accompanied by swollen paws. Symptoms include large size, inability to stretch and contract, pain when pressed, and abnormal thickening of the soles of the feet.

3. Fold-eared cats will feel physical pain after illness. In order to relieve physical pain, Fold-eared cats will change their center of gravity by lifting their feet to reduce the pressure of their body weight on their joints.

4. The cat suddenly became listless and had a loss of appetite.

5. When the cat sits upright, the occipital flesh of the hind feet cannot touch the ground, and the nails grow abnormally.
