Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
A round-faced, quiet companion with folded ears
The Scottish Fold is known for its small folded ears, round face and large eyes. Most are gentle, quiet and attached to their people, but the gene behind the fold is linked to joint and cartilage problems, so choose breeding carefully.

This breed enjoys about 30 minutes of play a day. Around 2 sitter visits a day keeps that routine going, along with fresh food, water and a clean litter tray, when work or travel gets in the way.

Yes, most are patient and easygoing with calm children. Teach kids to handle the legs and tail gently since some cats have sore joints.
The fold gene is linked to cartilage and joint disease, and fold breeding is restricted in some countries. Ask breeders about their breeding practices and health checks.
They are quite settled but bond closely with their people. A working day alone is usually fine, with a drop-in visit for longer absences.
