Treats for cats. The Scottish Fold cat.

The Scottish Fold cat is a unique breed in its own way, as it has a very non-standard shape of the ears, which is reflected in the name itself. Also, from the name it is clear that the birthplace of these pets is Scotland, namely, a farm in the Tayside area, near the town of Cupar Angus.

The first representative of the breed named Susie, snow-white (like her mother), was born quite by accident - her brothers and sisters had completely standard ears. The owner of the Mac Reiss farm, who owned the kittens, noticed a deviation from the norm a few weeks after they were born.

Susie grew up and in 1963 gave birth - among her kittens, two also had white coats and folded ears. The farmer had a neighbor - William Ross, a cat lover and just an inquisitive person who immediately drew attention to non-standard pets. After some thought, he came up with the idea to develop a completely new breed, and for this purpose he acquired one of the kittens, calling him Snooks.

Mating took place with the British Shorthair (on the advice of the authoritative British geneticist Peter Dyte), which subsequently had some effect on the characteristics of the breed he bred. William Ross and his wife Mary have worked hard to ensure that today we can get these amazing cats.

Cat fanciers associations classify breed varieties in different ways, but it is important for us to understand that, in general, there are only two of them.

The first has a longer coat, which was the result of mating with Persian cats. The second does not have folded ears, although it has the same personality traits and physique. There is some controversy about these cats, and most consider them to be a separate Scottish Straight breed (if a Scottish Fold kitten does not lay down, it is classified as a Scottish Straight breed, although not everyone agrees with such a division).

Surprisingly, the American Cat Fanciers Association accepted the breed before the British Association. The Scottish Fold received championship status from the United States Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) in 1977 (in 1978 the championship title was obtained).
