Scottish Fold Overview

Scottish fold cats are lovable and affectionate pets, but they are also known for their unique physical traits.
Their folded ears make them look like an owl or a baby seal, which most people find very adorable and this is one of the reasons why they became so popular.

They are generally docile, gentle, friendly with children, and easy to care for. Scottish folds come in all colors.

Active families with older children, because older Scottish Folds are best suited for individuals rather than families because they really form a strong bond with one person (they strongly know who their caretaker is, and that is their person).
Also, singles who have other pets are fine for them.
