As we all know, the folded ear cat is a cat with a gene mutation. Their ears are folded, so they have also attracted a lot of attention. However, due to their genetic defects, they will get sick after not long after being raised and cannot be cured. Therefore, everyone should also know how to distinguish between folded ear cats. Let’s take a look at how to distinguish between folded ears and fake ears in cats.
Distinguishing folded ears and fake ears requires genetic testing, otherwise it will be difficult to distinguish based on appearance alone. Cats with folding ears do not contain folding ear genes, while cats with fake ears have folding ear genes. Therefore, the most effective way to distinguish between folding ears and fake ears is to do genetic testing.
Falsely erected ears are more likely to get sick than folded ears, including poor breathing caused by narrowing of respiratory ducts, nosebleeding, and more likely to get cat plague, skin diseases, allergies and myocardial hyperplasia.
