SCOTTISH FOLD

Why we love them: playful & affectionate

APPEARANCE

Scottish Folds are distinguished by their unique folded ears, which bend forwards and downwards towards the front of the head. This gives them an owl-like appearance. They have a rounded, well-padded body and a short to medium-length coat that comes in various colors and patterns

PERSONALITY

Scottish Folds are known for their sweet, calm, and easy-going nature. They are affectionate, enjoy company, and often become particularly attached to one member of the household. Despite their serene appearance, they are playful and enjoy interactive toys.

GROOMING

They require regular grooming to prevent their coat from matting, and it is important to pay attention to their folded ears, which need to be cleaned regularly to prevent dirt and wax buildup.

FUN FACT

The original Scottish Fold was a white barn cat named Susie, found in Scotland in the 1960s. The breed was developed from her unique mutant gene that caused the ear fold.
