Methods to determine whether a cat with folded ears is sick:

1. In the early stages of the disease, the cat will be lazy, inactive, and have reduced jumping ability.

2. Gradually, cats will develop mobility impairments. The symptoms are: walking with their backs hunched over, taking every step carefully, and some even stagger and fall down after taking one or two steps.

3. Then more obvious symptoms will appear: the cat will lift its forelimbs or hind limbs. The cat's limbs will swell and lumps will appear in the joints. The cat's tail becomes stiff and cannot wag.

4. Some cats with folded ears may also experience abnormal nail growth.
