Scottish fold cats are a breed of cats that are the result of a genetic mutation. Their outer auricles fold forward, making their ears look short and small. Although folded-ear cats are cute in appearance, they are not recommended as pets because they have some health problems. The specific reasons are as follows:
1. Ear infection: Due to the abnormal ear structure of folded-ear cats, earwax and bacteria are easily accumulated, leading to health problems such as ear infection and inflammation.
2. Joint disease: The length of the front and hind legs of folded-ear cats is inconsistent, and toe bone deformities are more common, which can easily lead to joint diseases and motor dysfunction.
3. Dental problems: The jaws of folded-ear cats are relatively short and the teeth are dense, which is prone to oral health problems such as oral infections and caries.
4. Respiratory diseases: Scottish Fold cats have flat faces and flat noses, which can easily lead to health problems such as breathing difficulties and respiratory infections.
Therefore, if you want to keep a pet cat, it is recommended to choose a healthy breed and provide proper feeding and care. It should be noted that keeping a pet is not only a responsibility, but also requires corresponding time, energy and money.
