Tiktok is a species of cat that we hardly ever see. But some people will raise videos and make videos on the chattering, so we have the opportunity to understand. Tiktok is a very gentle animal. Is there a lot of people who will publish some video about folding ears? Is it so natural that folding is the folding of the ears?
What kinds of cat with folded ears
There are two kinds, one is Scotch and the other is highland. Scotch jacketed cats are born with sweetness. They like to be involved in everything you do, but they are usually quiet and don't make noises to disturb you.
When choosing a cat with folded ears, be sure to check the elasticity of its tail and check its legs and feet. It should not be thick or inflexible due to short and thick legs or separated toes. To judge the elasticity of the tail, you can use your hand to gently move it from the base of the tail to the tip of the tail. If the elasticity is normal, this arched stroke will not cause discomfort to the cat. Again, this movement must be very gentle!
Is it harmful to keep a cat with broken ears
The full name of the cat with folded ears is a kind of cat originated in Scotland. The ears of Scottish cat with folded ears are naturally folded, so they are called folding eared cats. The ear fold of Scotch fold eared cats is mainly due to a genetic defect, which leads to a congenital genetic disease from birth, which is often mentioned by the breeders of Scotch fold eared cats.
As long as this congenital genetic disease of the Scotch cat occurs, it will cause pain all over the body. However, at present, there is no fundamental solution and treatment for this disease. Going to the hospital and taking medicine can only delay the disease. Because it is a genetic disease, this kind of pain and suffering will accompany the cat for life.
Why don't many people suggest keeping a cat with folded ears?
The cat with broken ears is born with hereditary skeletal disease, namely osteochondrodysplasia.
Whether it is a cat with folded ears or standing ears, as long as the cat has the gene of folded ear cat, it is impossible to have 100% normal skeleton, but there is only a serious and slight difference. This is a typical genetic disease in a cat with broken ears. First, bone hyperplasia, then bone spur, and finally paralysis. The onset period ranged from 2 months to 6 months, but some cases began to develop after 1 year old.
Some cat dealers, in order to sell jacketed cats and earn some money, publicize that "there is no genetic disease with folded eared cats". This is a lie to sell folded eared cats. The onset of disease is a matter of time and severity!
In addition, there is no way to cure this genetic disease of the cat with broken ears. Most of the disease will continue to deteriorate and can not be cured, accompanied by the cat's life.
The only way to avoid this genetic disease is to give up breeding the cat with folded ears.
