About The Breed

What is a Scottish Fold cat?

Scottish Fold cats are a medium-sized breed known for their unique, folded ears, which give them an owl-like appearance. They have a sweet, round face, large eyes, and a plush coat. They are known for their affectionate, gentle, and friendly nature. These cats are intelligent and forgiving. They love children, so they will live well in a big family.

Why the name Scottish Fold ?

In 1961, in Scotland. A farmer named William Ross noticed a white barn cat with unusual folded ears at a nearby farm in the Tayside region of Scotland. This cat, Susie, had a natural genetic mutation that caused her ears to fold forward, giving her a distinctive appearance. When Susie later gave birth to a litter of kittens, two also had the same folded-ear trait. Int intrigued by this unique characteristic, William Ross and his wife Mary decided to acquire one of Susie’s folded-ear kittens, a female named Snooks. They began a breeding program with Snooks to develop and establish the Scottish Fold breed.

How many times a day do you need to feed Scottish Fold cats ?

The feeding of an animal needs to be set at the same time each day, so it is better to be held at this schedule: kittens at the age of 3 months- fed 5-6 times a day, 3-6 months- fed 4-5 times a day, after six months- fed three times a day, after eight months- fed two times a day. It is not recommended to combine natural foods with cat food. It is better to feed them with natural food (if wanted) separately.

What type of food best for Scottish Fold cats ?
We recommend a high-quality, balanced diet that suits the age and health needs of your Scottish Fold. A combination of wet and dry cat food is ideal, and we provide specific feeding instructions tailored to each kitten.
Milk and Raw Meat in the diet ?

Scottish Fold cats should not be fed sweet, fatty, salty, or spicy foods. It is recommended that they cancel milk from their meals and, with caution, eat some milky foods.
Raw meat is not recommended for kittens and old cats. Their immune systems, unlike those of healthy, grown cats, may be too slow and weak to handle it. Some bacteria and parasites don’t show symptoms, so they can be carriers of the disease and may give it to people.

What do Scottish Fold cats love ?

Scottish Fold cats like being the center of attention or even being near society (the family in the house). They also love sleeping in tight spaces (boxes, beds, etc.). When they’re not sleeping, they might enjoy the owner’s friendly pets or some playing if they’re in the mood.

What do Scottish Fold cats dislikes ?

Many Scottish Fold cats do not like being actively bothered or picked up; however, they love colossal attention and will lie on your lap. Cats don’t usually have a problem with cuddles or pets. Being chased, hearing loud sounds, or being forced to be in a particular room will cause them to hide somewhere or run away from the person who does these things to them.

Female cats should weigh 3-5 kg-6-11 pounds. Males average about 4-5 kg-8-11 pounds. However, some cats weigh about 6-7 kg-13-15 pounds, which is typical. Sometimes cats stop growing at 8 months, but every cat is different, so they might stop growing for a year.
