Cat's Ears bent backwards
Discussion
My cat has decided she needs to run faster, and so has found some dodgy back street plastic surgeon to have her ears pinned back to improve top speed.
Back in the real world I have literally no idea why my cat's ears have turned over on themselves. First ear slowly went over in about a week, then the next followed a fortnight later. Feels like a thick cartilage has built up, and doesn't seem to affect her.
Vet had no clue except how to charge me more cash. Anyone any ideas?

Only just seen this. Not something I have seen before, when trauma hasn't been involved tbh?! Except the other way in the Scottish fold breed but that is part of their breeding (well inbreeding really as not all of the kittens end up with folded pinna) not even sure they are allowed to breed them now!!
How old is your cat?
(the dig at the vet was uncalled for though. If they don't know they are right to offer more investigations or even referral to try and find a reason as you went there in the first place to get an answer)
There is another breed of cat called the American Curl but again there ears start folding back on themselves from a young kitten.

Fair point, dig at the vets probably not necessary. They are helpful but offering treatments without disclosing how much they cost, and by their own admission probably won't help is not ideal.How old is your cat?

Anyway, cat is 4 years old bought from a farm where I saw the mother and grandmother who had 'normal' ears - I think the daddy cat was a naughty local so no idea about him.
The only thing I can think is that she goes through her catflap regularly, maybe that has damaged her ears? Will check it tonight
thanks for the reply
