Hello everyone, welcome to the Ming Ming Meow Society, I am Xiao Ming!
The folded-eared cat is arguably one of the most controversial cat breeds on the Web. Although many people are critical of the cat breed, the folded-eared cat breed, because of its cute appearance, it is also enduring in the cat market. In this issue, let's take a closer look at the folded-eared cat.
The trait "Folded Ears" was first discovered on a farm in Scotland, and the cat species was named the Scottish Folded Ear Cat by combining place names with cat features. But people soon discovered the demon hidden under the cute appearance of the folded-eared cat, the innate genetic defect, although it was later improved by many geneticists, but it only alleviated this genetic disease, but during this period, the folded-eared cat also spread to the world.
The folded ears of the folded-ear cat belong to the dominant gene, so it is said that the offspring of the folded-ear cat are at least half the probability that the offspring of the folded-ear cat are also folded ears. Cats with folded ears are born with abnormal development of chondroskeletal osteosis, referred to as chondropathy. Cats with folded ears generally become ill after one year of age (some say it is February to June), but there is no exact time at present, but most of them will become ill, and after the onset of the disease can not be cured, can only alleviate the pain of cats.
When you plan to raise or already have a folded ear cat, you may need to pay attention to the following aspects:
1, look at your own wallet, if the family is not gou, try to make money, you may need to spend a lot of money after the onset of the cat.
2. Regularly take the cat to the hospital for orthopedic examination, early detection and early treatment, although it cannot be cured, but it can also alleviate the pain of the cat.
3. After the onset of illness, go to the pet hospital to consult the doctor in time, and give the cat chondroitin and calcium tablets according to the doctor's instructions.
4. Sterilize the cat as soon as possible to prevent the tragedy from continuing.
At present, there are many cats bred by folding ear cats on the market, such as English short folded ears, ragdoll folded ears, American short folded ears, etc., although they look very cute, but do not buy it on a whim, and wait until the cat is sick to regret it.
