Scottish Fold is a rare breed of domestic cat with a genetic mutation that affects their cartilage and gives their ears a folded / bent appearance. This cat is a controversial topic for some people, because the mutation that makes it adorable, makes it even more susceptible to certain joint diseases. This breed of cat is popular not only because of its physical features, but also because of their loving and gentle character.

1.

Scottish Fold first appeared in 1961 in a barn in Perthshire, Scotland. At birth, the cat had bent / folded ears, and after having puppies, two of them had the same characteristic as their mother. A nursing program began in 1966 that resulted in 76 kittens, 42 had folded ears, and 34 had straight ears. Scottish fold puppies will be born with straight ears, and in about 21 days they will bend.

Scottish Fold cats, whether with folded ears or straight ears, are benevolent, playful and get along well with humans and animals in the environment in which they live. There are affectionate cats that attach to caregivers, they become depressed when left alone. This breed of cat is intelligent, but also stubborn. He prefers to be outdoors.

Scottish Fold cat fur can be long or short and can have almost any color combination (including white). Short-haired cats have thick, soft fur, and long-haired cats have extremely dense fur around their ears, tails, cheekbones and fingers.

During spring and autumn they lose a lot of hair. It is good to brush them several times a week, to check the teeth and ears, which can get dirty more than other cats and can result in infections. It is recommended to be careful with their diet because some can gain weight if they do not have a balanced diet.

Scottish Fold cats should be fed a combination of dry food and wet food. A diet with premium or super premium food can have a positive impact on your cat's health and well-being. We need to feed them a complete and balanced meal, served in an established schedule so that they do not gain weight.
