Does you cat have crinkle ear?

It's a weird thing -- apparently, according to the vet, if a cat shakes it's head too hard, the ear might slap against the skull too hard, causing a blood vessel in the ear to break. This causes a flow of blood into the ear, which twists the ear all out of shape.

Even after the blood is removed (naturally, by the body), the ear remains strecthed and twisted out of shape. Weird. Very weird.

So, anyone else ever seen crinkle ear? (I'll try and get some better pictures of my cat's ear later this evening for those who REALLY want to see it...)

1 Our puppies ear do weird things, like stand straight up. Or when standing straight up just the tip will fold over. I will get pictures.

2 Ha ha ha. I guess I should've read on before commenting above. That makes sense. Still, I stand by my former statement, 'Poor Kitty'.
