Two Adorable Cats With Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Are Melting Hearts and Captivating Audiences on Social Media
According to ufaw.org: "Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by fragile, stretchy, and loose skin, caused by a genetic defect in the production of collagen. In cats affected by Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, this defect results in collagen fibers having an abnormal structure. This weakens the skin, reduces its structural properties, and makes it prone to damage."
