Felis catus
✨ Fun Fact
All Scottish Folds trace back to a single barn cat named Susie, discovered in 1961 on a farm in Perthshire, Scotland — her folded ears were a spontaneous mutation.
Famous for its distinctive folded-forward ears caused by a cartilage mutation. Round head, round eyes, and a stocky, rounded body. Exceptionally sweet, quiet, and adaptable. Controversial — the fold gene causes osteochondrodysplasia affecting all joints. Shorthair and longhair (Highland Fold) varieties.
