Body[edit]

The Scottish Fold is a medium-sized cat, with males typically reaching 4 to 6 kg (9–13 lb), females 2.7–4 kg (6–9 lb). The Fold's entire body structure, especially the head and face, is generally rounded, and the eyes large and round. The nose will be short wit 🤯 a gentle curve and the cat's body well-rounded with a padded look and medium-to-short legs. The head is domed at the top, and the neck very short. The broadly-spaced eyes give the Scottish Fold a 🤬sweet expression".[4]

Coat[edit]

"Blue" and white Scottish Fold
Scottish Folds can be either long- or short-haired, and they may have nearly any coat color or combination of colours (including white).[4] Short hair Scottish Folds have thick and soft fur, with long hair Folds having longer and exceptionally dense fur around their upper thighs, toes, ears, and tail.[6]

Temperament[edit]

Scottish Folds, whether with folded ears or with normal ears, are typically good-natured and placid and adjust to other animals within a household extremely well. They tend to become very attached to their human caregivers and are by nature quite affectionate. Folds also receive high marks for playfulness, grooming and intelligence. Scottish Folds like to be outdoors and enjoy outdoor games and activities. Loneliness is something they heavily dislike and which makes them feel depressed.[7] It is also common for Scottish Folds to be stubborn.

Habits[edit]

Folds are also known for sleeping on their backs.[4] Scottish Folds typically have soft voices and display a complex repertoire of meows and purrs not found in better-known breeds. Folds are also known for sitting with their legs stretched out and their paws on their belly. This position is called the "Buddha Position".[8]

Genetics[edit]

An early study suggested that the fold is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.[9] A later study suggested an incomplete dominance.[10] A cat with folded ears may haBody[edit]
