How to choose a fold cat?

1. Look at the body shape: whether the cat is plump, whether the tail, limbs and back are deformed, and whether the tail is flexible and whether the limbs are too short. Check the lower abdomen for thinness or unusual enlargement.

2. Head: round and firm chin and jaw. The shape of the muzzle where the root of the beard grows is round. The head is attached to the thick neck, and the male has prominent cheekbones with a prominent but broad jaw.

3. Eyes: Big eyes with a sweet look. The eyes are large and round and set apart on either side of the broad nose. The color of the eyes matches the color of the coat.

4. Nose: The nose is short and has a soft curve. Minor interruptions are allowed, but significant dents are a disadvantage.

5. Ears: Fold the ears forward and droop forward, the top of the ears are round and close to the head. Small and smaller ears that close to the head are better than droopy and large ears.

6. Body: medium, round, in the same line from shoulder to waist. The cat must stand firm, not lack movement due to stubby legs, and the claws must be neat and rounded. The front paws have 5 fingers and the hind paws have 4 fingers. Medium skeleton from head to tail, without defects. Female cats may be smaller.

7. Tail: The tail is of medium length, but must be commensurate with the body. The tip of the tail is thin and curved. A long tail with a thin tip is better.

8. Coat: Short-haired folds have dense, thick, smooth hair; long-haired folds have long, short and medium short hair. Soft texture. Energetic. It stands upright because it is dense, not flat or horizontally attached to the body. The texture of the fur may vary by colour or by region/season.

9. Test vitality: Whether the cat is lively and healthy. The fur is bright and soft, and it responds quickly when it hears the sound. The owner's provocation is easy to arouse the desire to play, and the smell of food has a strong appetite.

10. Injection situation: Ask about the situation of preventive injection, and carefully check the health of the kitten. Check the records of pets to confirm that they have received the five-in-one vaccine.

11. Response test: When the pet's name is called, the pet will respond immediately and be enthusiastic towards people. If conditions permit, it is best to go to the relevant hospital for a physical examination before purchasing a pet.
