My heartfelt plea: Folded ears may look cute, but they come with a lifetime of pain. Don’t support breeding them. Don’t buy folded-ear cats. Don’t feed the demand.

Number43 @number43.bsky.social · Jul 28

A personal note about Hei Hei: He carries the folded ear gene, which unfortunately has led to severe joint problems for him. I adopted him from a previous owner and am committed to caring for him for his entire life.
