Physical Characteristics

The Scottish Fold’s forward-folding ears result from a natural genetic mutation affecting cartilage. All kittens are born with straight ears; folds develop between 2 and 4 weeks in those carrying the gene. Some keep straight ears (Scottish Straight) and are equally charming. The medium-sized, round, muscular body weighs 3 to 6 kg. The coat may be short or long (Highland Fold) in all colours and patterns. Large round eyes and a naturally smiling expression complete its irresistibly sweet face.

Temperament

The Scottish Fold is remarkably gentle, calm, and affectionate. Known for amusing postures — sitting in "Buddha position" or lying on its back — it constantly entertains its owners. Intelligent and curious but rarely hyperactive, it is ideal for families with children, apartment dwellers, and peaceful households. Its voice is soft and discreet.

Living in Quebec

The Scottish Fold adapts beautifully to indoor life in Quebec. Its coat provides sufficient warmth in a heated Canadian home. As a naturally calm, homebodied cat, the Scottish Fold is perfectly content with an enriched indoor environment featuring cat trees, toys, and human companionship.
