Description of Scottish Fold Cat Breed
The first Scottish Fold was granted championship status by The Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) in 1978.
Scottish Folds ears come in two types; the folded ear and straight, non folded ear. The folded ear is produced by an incomplete dominant gene and is the result of a spontaneous mutation.
Scottish Fold kittens are born with straight ears. Then at about three to four weeks of age, their ears fold if they are going to, or they don't if they aren't going to fold. Typically by the time the kitten is twelve weeks of age the breeder can determine the quality of the pet, whether they deem it to be pet quality, breeder quality or show quality. At present, only Scottish Folds with folded ears are permitted in the show ring. Scottish Folds come in any and all colors possible with the exception of those showing evidence of hybridization resulting in the colors chocolate, lavender, the Himalayan pattern, or a combination of these and white.
Scottish Folds are a hardy breed of cat. Their disposition matches their sweet expression. Their meows are soft and they are not an extremely vocal breed. They make excellent companions as they cherish their humans. Scottish Folds are adaptable to most home types, being the quite household or the noisy environment with children and other animals.
Pricing on Scottish Folds varies from breeder to breeder but generally the pricing on an Scottish Folds depends on type, applicable markings and bloodlines.
Typically breeders of all breeds of kittens release their kittens somewhere between twelve and sixteen weeks of age. The reasoning behind keeping a kitten until after twelve weeks is that kittens have had their basic inoculations. This gives them time to develop the physical and social stability needed to make a smooth transition into their new environment. It is never recommended that a breeder release a kitten before twelve weeks of age as the kittens need this time to develop properly. Releasing a kitten prior to twelve weeks of age is against the law in many states. It is also recommended that you keep all pedigreed cats and kittens indoors and that they be spayed or neutered. Cats and kittens of all ages also need suitable surfaces for scratching, such as scratching posts. Scratching is a natural behavior of the cat breed and declawing a cat is not recommended and is not accepted by the Cat Fanciers Association.
