In 1961 a shepherd
by the name of William Ross spotted the first known
Scottish Fold cat at a farm near Coupar Angus in the
Tayside Region of Scotland, Northwest of Dundee. Ross
asked the owners if he could have one of the kittens,
and proceeded to develop the breed from the original,
Susie, a white barn cat. The unique thing about this cat
was that her ears folded forward and downward on her
head. The resulting look gave the impression of a “pixie”,
“owl”, or “teddy bear” that has captured the
hearts of many American cat fanciers and judges. The
Scottish Fold was granted championship status by The Cat
Fanciers’ Association (CFA) in 1978.
Scottish Folds
come in two types: folded ear and straight (normal) ear.
The folded ear is produced by an incomplete dominant
gene and is the result of a spontaneous mutation.
Over the last two
decades the Scottish Fold has developed a look all its
own...even though allowed outcrosses include American
Shorthairs and British Shorthairs. The Fold does not
necessarily resemble the American Shorthair’s hard,
powerful “working cat” body and squared-off muzzle.
Nor does it look like the British Shorthair’s massive,
compact body, short legs, and flat planed top-head. The
Fold, instead, is a medium cat with a rounded,
well-padded body and a short, dense, and resilient coat.
It has large, round, broadly spaced eyes full of
sweetness; well-rounded whisker pads and a short nose
with a gentle curve in profile.
