It depends on what you mean by "folded up". Many varieties of cats, e.g. the Scottish Fold, have ears that are naturally folded close to their heads. It is also possible for a cat to get an ear injury that results in his ear being folded up.

If you are referring to when a cat folds up his own ear, that is usually a sign that he is preparing for battle; cats will fold their ears back behind their heads to keep them out of harm's way when they expect to be fighting another cat. An extremely scared cat will also fold up his ears for the same reason.

How can you tell ear mites or if it is wax in my cats ears?

Cats can get ear mites from other cats who have them, or plants that have ear mites on it. But most cats who get ear mites are usually outdoor cats. Other cats can give your cat ear mites because the those little annoying buggers are very contagious. Or if you have a cat and they play around plants, they could catch it if that plant had ear mites on it.

How do you identify cats that haven't been micro-chipped?

The simplest way, of course, is to scan them with a chip reader. If the chip reader cannot pick up a signal, chances are they have not been microchipped. A less certain indicator is to check inside the cat's ears. Cats quite often will be tattooed inside their ears, so that the vet has a hope of finding the owner of a cat that turns up for treatment. If the cat is chipped, there is no need for an ear tattoo, and often none will be done. However, not all cats are tattooed even if they are not microchipped, and some cats have both an ear tattoo and a microchip.
