About the Scottish Fold
The Scottish Fold is a medium cat breed originating in Scotland. Adult cats typically weigh 6 to 13 pounds and live 11 to 15 years. Typical traits: sweet, quiet, folded-ears, sedentary.
Calm homes prepared for lifelong joint monitoring, ideally with soft surfaces, low jumps and a vet who knows the breed. Anyone expecting an ordinary healthy cat. The folded ear comes from a cartilage mutation that affects cartilage throughout the body, so degenerative joint disease is an expected feature of the breed rather than a possibility. Several registries decline to recognise it for that reason. Adopt with open eyes, and ask the rescue about mobility and pain management.
Adult Scottish Folds need about 20 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent cats typically need 25 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 2 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
