Hybrid folded-eared cats will develop the disease. The reason why cats with folded ears develop the disease is because their genes have congenital defects, so as long as cats carry the gene for folded ears, they are likely to develop the disease. Folded-eared cats usually develop symptoms when they are 2-6 months old, but they may not start to develop until they are 1 year old.

How to take care of cats with folded ears:

1. There is currently no treatment for cats with folded ears, so the cat can only be fed some drugs after the disease occurs, such as chondroitin etc., to reduce the cat’s pain when suffering from the disease.

2. After a cat with folded ears becomes ill, you can change to a litter box that is less difficult to enter, or place several more litter boxes to reduce the difficulty of the cat going to the toilet and prevent the cat from holding in its urine.

3. After folded-eared cats become ill, they cannot clean their hair on their own and need their owners to help them comb their hair and clean their bodies frequently.
