Fold-eared cats are prone to achondroplasia due to genetic defects, which can also cause progressive joint disease. When the disease occurs, the cat with folded ears will have abnormal growth plates, a short and stiff tail, and short and stiff toes. This will cause the cat with folded ears to limp, have a stiff gait, be unable to jump, and even become paralyzed. And it is lifelong and cannot be cured, only relieved. In addition to genetic diseases, Fold-eared cats are also prone to skin diseases, heart disease, etc., which will shorten the life of Fold-eared cats.
