A cat with folded ears does not necessarily have folded ears since he was a child. Kittens less than one month old cannot make a judgment and can only tell the difference after one month old. The cause of folded ears in cats is the inheritance of skeletal gene defects. Folded ears in cats are caused by a genetic disease caused by a skeletal gene defect, which causes cartilage hypoplasia in their ears, causing them to bend down and form folded ears. There is also the gene for folded ears. Folded ears in cats are caused by incomplete dominance that controls the folded ear trait. If a cat has a folded ear gene, it may show folded ears. If a cat with folded ears is crossed with a cat with erect ears, the offspring may have folded and erect ears, or may have non-dominant folded ears.
