Silver gradient folded ears are more expensive than prick ears. According to the current market conditions, the price of a pet-level cat with silver gradient prick ears is about 2,000 yuan, and the price of a silver gradient cat with folded ears is about 5,000 yuan. Of course, the price of a cat also depends on the cat’s pedigree, appearance, health, and after-sales service. A silver gradated prick-eared cat with a racing pedigree is more expensive than a silver gradated fold-eared cat without pedigree.

The reason why folded-eared cats are more expensive than straight-eared cats

1. Folded-eared cats are the product of a genetic mutation, and generally appear less frequently. All cats have erect ears, and rare things are more valuable, so the rarer cats with folded ears are more expensive than cats with erect ears.

2. Fold-eared cats require specific mating to breed, which requires more time, energy and cost, so the price is also very high.

3. Usually, cats with folded ears look cuter than cats with upright ears of the same quality, and can be liked by most people, so the price will be relatively higher.
