About the Scottish Fold
The Scottish Fold is distinguished by its unique genetic mutation that causes the ears to fold forward and down, giving it an owl-like appearance. Originating from a barn cat in Scotland, the breed has a rounded, well-padded body and a sweet, calm temperament. All Folds are born with straight ears; the fold develops in kittens carrying the dominant gene. They are known for being affectionate, gentle, and adaptable companions.
