The offspring of normal cats and folded-eared cats have a higher chance of being folded-eared cats, but they may also be prick-eared cats. It should be noted that because folded-eared cats have congenital genetic diseases, deformed cats are likely to occur after mating with folded-eared cats. Once a cat with folded ears becomes ill, the cat will suffer from enlarged joints, deformed paws, and frailty throughout its life.

How to tell whether a cat has folded ears:

1. First, we can check the cat’s ears, starting from the root of the ear or halfway down the ear. It’s a folded-eared cat.

2. If the kitten’s parents have folded ears and the kitten has erect ears, you can check whether the kitten’s ears are bent downward when it is just born. The ears that were folded before and then stood up are Fold-eared cat genes.

3. If none of the above methods can determine, and the owner is very worried that his cat has a folded ear gene, the most accurate way is to do a cat genetic test and use scientific basis to determine confirmed.
