The next generation of a folded-eared cat may not necessarily have folded ears. There is a certain probability of inheriting the folded-eared gene. The details will depend on whether the other cat mated with the folded-eared cat is a folded-eared cat. If the cat is also a cat with folded ears or carries the gene for folded ears, then they have a high chance of giving birth to folded ears. If the cat is a cat with straight ears that does not carry the gene for folded ears, the chance of giving birth to folded ears will be greatly reduced.

Precautions for breeding Fold-eared cats

1. Fold-eared cats cannot be bred with inbreeding. Generally, if a fold-eared cat mates with another fold-eared cat, it is easy to give birth to a problematic cat baby. When folded-eared cats mate and breed with each other, the bone defects in their ears are magnified, which can easily lead to physical defects in the offspring.

2. Scottish Fold cats can be bred and mated with American shorthair cats and British shorthair cats; you can also choose Fold cats with erect ears to mate. Cats born in this way should have ears that are upright and folded, but the cats' bodies are very healthy.

3. When Scottish Fold cats mate, owners should prepare a quiet and comfortable space for them. Avoid outside interference and prevent strangers from entering and exiting at will and affecting the mating process of cats.
