Meet Scottish Fold

The Scottish Fold is a unique and charming cat breed, instantly recognizable for its distinctive folded ears, which give it an owl-like appearance. The breed originated in Scotland in the 1960s when a naturally occurring genetic mutation produced kittens with ears that folded forward and downward.

Scottish Folds are medium-sized cats with round faces, large expressive eyes, and dense coats that can be short or long. They are admired not only for their adorable looks but also for their sweet and affectionate personalities. Scottish Folds are calm, gentle, and friendly cats that bond closely with their families. They enjoy being involved in daily activities and are often found sitting in quirky positions, such as the “Buddha sit,” which has become a trademark of the breed.

They are playful but not overly demanding, making them well-suited to both active and quiet households. Scottish Folds typically get along well with children and other pets, making them wonderful family companions. Their coats require regular brushing to stay healthy, especially in long-haired varieties.

With their combination of unique appearance, loving temperament, and playful charm, Scottish Folds are among the most endearing and cherished cat breeds worldwide.
