Cat atavism means that the cat's body shows certain traits of its ancestors, which are inherited from generation to generation. The body may show symptoms of shortened tail and enlarged ears. The real atavistic cats are not due to some atavistic phenomena due to crossbreeding, but cats of the same breed that have the characteristics of their ancestors. Common atavism phenomena include short-haired cats giving birth to long-haired cats, and solid-colored cats giving birth to striped kittens. This phenomenon is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much.

Manifestations of cat atavism:

1. The offspring of a cat should originally have patterns on their bodies, but suddenly there are no patterns in a certain generation. This is A manifestation of atavism.

2. If the ears of a cat's parents are small, and the ears of the next generation become larger, this is a special situation. Although it is rare in cats, it will happen. Don't mistake it for an impure cat, as this is also a sign of atavism.

3. A purebred short-haired cat grows up to become a long-haired cat, which is also related to atavism. The existence of these phenomena indicates that it has inherited the genes of its ancestors.
