Cats with folded ears are not the result of crossbreeding or technical training, but are the result of genetic defects; it is due to the mating of the achondroplasia gene (F gene) with folded ears and the normal prick ear gene (f gene), or the two. Breed by mating with only F genes.

Cats with folded ears are not the result of crossbreeding or technical training, but are the result of genetic defects; it is due to the mating of the achondroplasia gene (F gene) with folded ears and the normal prick ear gene (f gene), or the two. The F gene is bred by mating with only the F gene, and this F gene is the gene for achondroplasia, which will affect the cartilage of the cat's entire body. This disease will accompany the cat with folded ears throughout its life, and it will experience unbearable pain when it develops.

Yes, without exception, all cats with folded ears will get the disease, and the probability is 100%! Because cats with folded ears are the result of a genetic mutation, the mutated gene causes cats to suffer from congenital chondrodysplasia, which affects the cartilage of the whole body. Therefore, the cats’ ears are droopy; while other limb bones of their bodies will be much more serious. Any cat that carries the gene for folded ears will develop the disease. It has nothing to do with whether the folded ears are in a regular cattery, and as early as 1974, Scotland had excluded folded-eared cats from the list of recognized breeds, and was also banned by the International Cat Federation.
