The reason why kittens whose parents have erect ears have folded ears is that the father or mother of the folded-eared cat carries the folded-ear gene. Although the cat's parents do not have folded ears, they will pass the folded ear gene to the next generation. Folded ears are a manifestation of genetic mutation. Poor breeding can also lead to sudden folded ears. Therefore, it is possible for two cats with erect ears to give birth to a cat with folded ears.

How to breed folded-eared cats

1. It is not recommended to breed a cat that is in heat for the first time, because the body may not be mature yet and will not breed until the second time of heat. You can now choose a suitable breeding cat for your cat.

2. It is not recommended to choose a cat with folded ears for breeding. You can choose a cat with erect ears, so that the genes of the kittens bred will be relatively stable.

3. When breeding, arrange a quiet and comfortable environment for the cat, and do not disturb the cat.
