The bitterness and sorrow of the folded-eared cat

Folded ear cat, this cat because of its unique appearance of ear drooping, looks cute and gentle, by many pet owners love, many pet people can fight and pride for having a cute pet. But, you know what? In fact, the folded ear cat is a cat with genetic diseases, and the price of its young and cute is the pain of being tortured to death in adulthood.

The reason why cats fold their ears is because they have a gene that can bend cartilage, but in addition to the cartilage in the cat's ears, their trachea, limb bones, etc. have cartilage. The genes of folded ear cats have determined that their cartilage will be stunted, tracheal cartilage dysplasia can lead to narrowing of the respiratory tract and poor breathing, limb cartilage dysplasia can lead to problems with their movements, serious even because of pain and can not walk, folded ear cats usually can only sit or lie down to relieve the symptoms of this pain. Therefore, usually you see that the cat with folded ears is so "well-behaved" and not moving, not because they don't want to move or play, but because the activity will cause them bone pain. There are also some folded-eared cats that eventually die of the disease.

Therefore, if pet lovers really love pets, then please do not buy and sell folded ear cats, so as not to have more folded ear cats suffer for a lifetime.
