The mutant gene of Folding Ear Cat is chromosome D3: 25 1385 14 locus G >；; T mutation leads to congenital achondroplasia, which is a genetic defect disease related to varieties.
The onset age of folded-eared cats ranges from one month to six months, and most of them start from two months. Compared with cats of the same age, sick cats are obviously lighter in weight. Most of them show that cats don't like sports at the beginning of the disease, and their hind legs limp intermittently. Some of them did not show dyskinesia in the early stage of pathology, but showed bending of the middle and upper coccyx and stiff joints.

Pay attention to when buying folding cats:
Folding cats like to be with humans. They are very friendly. Folding cats should have short hair and double hair. If their fur sticks to their bodies, it is unhealthy. The folded cat's fur should feel thick, elastic and textured.
The folded-ear cat's body should be slender and plump, extending from the shoulder to the folded-ear cat's arm with a uniform width. The body length and proportion of healthy folded-ear cats should be coordinated.
Because folded-ear cats are prone to illness, only the coordination of limbs can stand steadily, so that there will be no weakness or inflexibility. Moreover, the tail of a healthy folded-ear cat is elastic, which can match the body and looks more pleasing to the eye.
