Reply to comment by someMeatballs in TIL that when a cat has a flat face (such as a Persian), that is actually a deformity. Breeders, however, are able to find ways of altering the cat’s genetics by choosing who they breed with. They do this because so many people gravitate to the smushed in face. by dioWjonathenL

True, but the point stands. The selective breeding decides the cats genes and they can be altered. Though, obviously, it’s done way before the cat is even born
