Hello everyone, I am a pillar brother, many people think that the folded ear cat is so cute, shrugging the ears, with a chubby little round face, it is really cute to burst, and will sit like a human, gasping for breath. Many celebrities and Internet celebrities also have folded ear cats, such as Yang Ying, Guo Jingming, Zhou Yangqing, etc., which look really cute. #周扬青却呼吁不要养折耳猫 #
Although the folded ears are relatively not ugly compared to other types of cats, but behind the folded ear cat, it is the pain of the kitten, many cat dealers in order to sell the folded ear cat, do not hesitate to say "folded ear cat and standing ear cat mating, offspring will not have genetic diseases", but the cat with folded ear, will definitely get sick, but the difference between time and severity.
Folded ear cat is a dominant variation of the ear folding gene, because it is a variation of the dominant gene, the folded ear cat is born with hereditary bone disease, this disease will affect the cartilage of the entire kitten body, some kittens although it looks like a vertical ear, but there is a gene for folding the ear in the body, then its bones will not be 100% normal. This bone disease of the folded-eared cat has no cure so far, and after the onset of the disease, the condition will only get worse and worse, and finally accompany the kitten for a lifetime.
My family iron pillar is also a silver gradient with folded ears, which is adopted, and is wandering outside before adoption, usually looks stupid and cute, but it is usually really lazy, unwilling to move every day, and later when I go to the hospital to check, I know that it is bone disease caused by folded ears, because of pain, I am only willing to lie lazily on the soft bed every day.
The onset of the disease of the folded ear cat, the initial performance will be like the iron pillar, do not like the activity, and then worsen a little, there will be mobility disorders, such as:
The tail is short, thick, stiff and inability to bend
The joints of the limbs begin to swell
The hind paws are thick, and when sitting upright, the flesh pads of the hind soles are out of touch with the ground.
The growth of the nails is abnormal.
At present, there is no good solution for folding ear cats, but only everyone does not keep them, folding ear cats are piled up in the hands of cat dealers and cannot be shot, and cat dealers have to deliberately cross-eared cats, so as to perfectly eliminate the heat of folded ear cats.
If there is a cat with folded ears at home, it is necessary to pay more attention to the situation of the folded ear cat, if the disease is brought to the hospital as soon as possible, although there is no complete cure, but it can be alleviated with drugs, let the deterioration come slower, do not abandon the cat at will, since you have chosen to raise a kitten, you must always accompany it, do not usually be happy together, but when it comes to treating the kitten, feel that a small animal, it is not worth spending money on it, so abandoned. Although the kitten is a part of your daily life, for the kitten, you are the whole of it.
