Flat ears are not necessarily a cat with folded ears. Fold-eared cats generally refer to breeds that possess the fold-eared cat gene. Not all cats with droopy ears are fold-eared cats. Generally speaking, the ears of cats under three months old will droop to varying degrees, and they will gradually stand upright after three months. If the ears of a cat older than three months are still folded, it is likely to be a cat with folded ears. Cats with folded ears generally have a shorter life span, and the owner should spend more time with it.

How to identify a cat with folded ears:

1. The folded ears of a folded-eared cat droop forward, the top of the ear is round, folded down from the root, and the whole ear is tight Close to the head.

2. The cat’s parents have folded ears. Due to genetic inheritance, the kitten is likely to also have folded ears.

3. If the above methods cannot determine, and the owner is very worried that his cat has a folded ear gene, he can do a cat genetic test and use scientific evidence to confirm it.
