Scottish Fold Cat

The most striking characteristic of the Scottish Fold is its small ears, folded forward and downward, set in a cap-like fashion.  As its name indicates, the breed is a native of Scotland.  Without the distraction of upright ears, the large,round eyes dominate the face, a feature also found in the straight-eared Folds.  Longhair and shorthair varieties comes in a number of colors and patterns. Scottish Folds are sweet-tempered, attentive and devoted, but not demanding.
