Why can't you keep a folded ear cat? It is understood and a little bit of the reason.

The main reasons why it is not recommended to raise folded ear cats are as follows:

1, genetic defects: folded ear cats have genetic defects, may get chondrodystrophies, which can be incurred at a young age, and the pre-tail may become shorter and thicker, and the joints of the limbs are swollen and other symptoms, and in severe cases, it may affect the normal walking, and even lead to paralysis of the whole body.

2, low immunity: Folded ear cats have poor physical condition and are prone to some diseases.

3, shorter lifespan: The lifespan of a normal cat is more than 15 years old, and the life span of a folded ear cat is shorter than most cats, which has a lot to do with its physical condition and genetics. During daily feeding, owners can give it more calcium.

The Folded Ear Cat, also known as the Scottish Fold, is a cat breed that has a genetic mutation in the ear area. Its body shape is plump and semi-circular, its fur color is commonly dark brown, coffee, etc., its body hair is soft and dense, its eye color varies according to its body hair, its eyes are round and attractive, its head is round and large, its nose is broad and straight, and its tail is obese. Its most distinctive feature is its curved ears, hence the name Folded Ear Cat.

The Folded Ear Cat is native to the United Kingdom and has a calm, lazy character, relies on its owner, is resistant to disease, and is hardy. Each litter produces an average of 3-4 litters, but their offspring are not necessarily all collapsed ears. When the kitten is born, the two ears are upright, and only after 4 weeks do the ears droop forward, and as it grows older, the ears droop lower and lower. The ancestor of the Folded Ear Cat came from the cold Stockholm region of Scotland, and in 1961, a female cat was born from a mutation of a local farm cat, which was cherished for its unique curved ears and was able to reproduce.
