Reasons Why You Shouldn't Adopt a Folded-Ear Cat

Section 1: The Reasons Why You Should Not Keep a Cobby Cat

This unique cobby cat, known to Oxygen Pet Doctor, originates from a genetic skeletal disorder, commonly referred to as cartilage skeletal dysplasia. Whether they have folded ears or erect ears, any cat carrying the cobby gene will not have a 100% normal bone structure, with varying degrees of severity.

The cobby cat is a classic genetic disorder, starting with bone overgrowth, followed by osteophytes, and ultimately leading to paralysis. Symptoms typically appear between 2 to 6 months of age, although some cats may not exhibit them until they are over a year old.

Unfortunately, some pet dealers in the market, in an attempt to boost their sales, falsely claim that "cobby cats and straighteared cats bred together do not have genetic diseases." This is a flatout lie! This condition is congenital, with varying onset times and severity. Moreover, it is incurable, and the condition will progressively worsen, leading to a life sentence of suffering alongside the cobby cat.

Section 2: The Reasons Why Cobby Cats Seem "Cute" in Their Behavior

The only way to prevent the continuation of this genetic disorder in cobby cats is to cease breeding and cultivating this breed!

1. The plump, adorable paws of the cobby cat are a result of its abnormal skeletal structure!

2. It's amusing to see a cobby cat sit like a human, which is merely due to stiff hind legs or pain from屈膝. Sitting can provide some relief from the discomfort!

3. Cobby cats are very lazy, often lying in humanlike positions, for the same reasons as sitting!

4. Some people believe that cobby cats are not noisy because they are too docile. However, the truth is that they are in so much pain that they do not want to make a sound. They are reluctant to move because every movement brings them pain!

The cobby cat is an abnormal feline that is not recognized by nature and cannot exist for long. Their entire lives are filled with suffering. We truly hope that no more cobby cats will appear!
