Folded ears cat, this extremely cute cat, has always been loved by people. Their unique folded ear shape seems to be born with a unique charm that makes people want to get closer. However, behind this beautiful appearance, there is a harrowing truth.

Folded ears in cats are not innate, but are due to a genetic mutation. This genetic mutation causes abnormal ear cartilage development in folded ear cats, resulting in folded ears. However, this genetic mutation is not the result of natural evolution, but the result of human intervention. Some irresponsible cat breeders have introduced this gene into the cat's genome through artificial breeding in order to pursue the unique appearance of folded cats.

Folded ears cats face many health problems as they grow up. Due to abnormal ear cartilage development, the ears of folded ear cats can be constantly painful and can even lead to infections and lesions. In addition, folded ears cats may also face other health problems such as abnormal bone development, difficulty breathing, etc. These problems not only cause great pain to folded ears cats, but also place a great burden on their breeders.

Therefore, we should respect the natural attributes and right to exist of every living organism, and not artificially alter their genomes in pursuit of physical beauty. At the same time, we should also pay attention to animal welfare, choose responsible breeders and animal breeding sites, so that every living thing can live in the world healthy and happy.
