The Scottish Fold is considered one of the ten most popular cats
in the United States. The Scottish Fold was not brought about by
deliberate crossing. The first cat of the type appeared in a
litter in Scotland in 1961. Her name was Susie and each of today's
Scottish Folds are a descendant of hers. There is a definite
danger of breeding two Scottish Folds together. It can create
stiffness of the hind legs and lack of flexibility in the tail.
The gene for the folded ears is dominant so not all the kittens in
a litter will have them. In Britain the Governing Council of the
Cat Fancy of Britain has not accepted the Scottish Fold into
championship standing. But, it is recognized by the Cat
Association of Britain and in the United States it received it's
championship standing in 1978.
The Scottish Fold is of medium size, stocky and rounded. Though
the coat comes in longhair and shorthair the cross with the
British Shorthair seems to be the most popular. The legs of this
cross must not appear thick or exhibit alack of mobility because of
shortness. Of course the ears are the most distinct feature of the
Scottish Fold and these should be folded downward on its rounded
head. It should be small and tight and the tips of the ears should
be rounded. The coat whether long or short should be thick and
spring back. This cat does require daily grooming to keep the coat
in excellent condition and to remove dead hair.
The Scottish Fold is seen in all colors except solid lilac,
chocolate and colorpointed.
The mixture of British and American Shorthairs makes this cat very
affectionate, loving of human companions and he gets along well
with other pets. Although not very vocal he is hardy with a great
personality.
