Scottish Fold cats originated in Scotland in the 1960s. The breed is known for its distinctive folded ears, which are caused by a genetic mutation.
Scottish Folds have a round face, large eyes, and a sturdy body. Their most distinctive feature is their folded ears, which give them an owl-like appearance.
Scottish Folds are known for their sweet and gentle temperament. They are affectionate, loving, and enjoy spending time with their human companions.
While Scottish Folds are generally healthy cats, they are prone to certain health issues, such as osteochondrodysplasia, which can affect their bone development.
Scottish Folds have a short to medium-length coat that requires minimal grooming. Regular brushing helps keep their coat healthy and reduces shedding.
Scottish Folds are not particularly vocal cats. They may meow occasionally to communicate with their owners but are generally quiet and reserved.
Scottish Folds have an average lifespan of around 12 to 15 years. With proper care, a balanced diet, and regular veterinary check-ups, they can live long and healthy lives.
