Many cat lovers may notice that there are some small black spots in the cat's ears. So what are these black spots? In fact, these black spots represent the genetic inheritance of cats.
The color of cat hair is often influenced by genes, and these small black dots actually represent the result of a specific gene expression of cat hair color. So the number and position of black spots on each cat's ear may be different.
2. Is the little black spot on the cat's ear related to health?
Many cat lovers worry that these black spots are unhealthy signs. But in fact, this statement has no scientific basis. The small black spots on the cat's ears will not have any influence on the cat's health, they are just a reflection of the cat's physical characteristics.
Of course, if you find other abnormalities in the cat's ears, such as a lot of earwax, inflammation or trauma, you still need to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid serious consequences.
3. Is there a relationship between the color of black spots on cat ears and the color of cat hair?
There is also a common misunderstanding that the small black spots on the cat's ears are related to the coat color. In fact, this statement is also inaccurate. The color of the black spots on the cat's ears is not directly related to the color of the hair. Cats of the same breed may have different coat colors and black spots on their ears.
But the cat's coat color is still determined by heredity. If you want your cat's next generation to have beautiful coat color, you need to understand the genetic law of cats and choose a reasonable pair.
4. How to clean the black spots on the cat's ears correctly?
The small black spots on the cat's ears don't need special cleaning and care, they are just the physical characteristics of the cat. However, when you clean your cat's ears, you can check and remove the wax on the inside of the ears.
Cats' ears are sensitive parts and need correct cleaning methods. You can use a special ear canal cleaning solution for pets, smear it on a cotton swab and insert it into the cat's ear to wipe it. But don't stick it too deep, so as not to hurt the cat's inner ear. If you are not skilled, you can ask a professional pet doctor to guide the operation.
