Overview

The Scottish Fold is a unique and charming breed of cat that is instantly recognizable by its distinctively folded ears. 

Temperament

The Scottish Fold is known for being an affectionate and friendly breed that loves to be with people. They are often described as being quite social and enjoy spending time with their family members. They are also known for being playful and enjoy playing with toys, chasing after strings, and exploring their surroundings. Scottish Folds are adaptable and can get along with other pets as well.

Lifespan

The Scottish Fold has an average lifespan of 12-15 years, but with proper care, they can live even longer.

Shedding

The Scottish Fold has a dense and plush coat that sheds moderately. Weekly brushing can help keep their coat healthy and minimize shedding.

Kittens

Scottish Fold kittens are born with straight ears that start to fold at around 3-4 weeks of age. It is important to note that not all Scottish Folds have folded ears, and it is considered unethical to breed two Scottish Folds together due to a genetic predisposition to skeletal abnormalities. Potential kitten buyers should also be aware that Scottish Folds can be prone to ear infections, so regular ear cleaning is essential.

The Scottish Fold is a loving and playful breed with a unique appearance. They can make great family pets and enjoy spending time with their humans. However, potential owners should be aware of their moderate shedding and the potential health concerns associated with their distinctive ear structure.
