Scottish Fold
The owl-eyed sweetheart
Famous for folded ears and a round, owlish face, the Scottish Fold is a sweet, adaptable lap-loving companion.
A little history
The breed began in 1961 with a barn cat in Scotland whose ears folded forward due to a natural cartilage variation. Its endearing look quickly captured hearts and launched a recognizable worldwide breed.
Temperament
Gentle, affectionate, and adaptable, Scottish Folds enjoy quiet company and are known for sitting in amusing, relaxed poses.
