About the Scottish Fold
The Scottish Fold is a breed of domestic cat with a natural dominant-gene mutation that affects cartilage throughout the body, causing the ears to "fold", bending forward and down towards the front of the head.

Scottish Folds are prone to degenerative joint disease (osteochondrodysplasia) due to the same mutation that affects their ears. Regular vet check-ups and joint supplements are recommended.

Their dense coat needs weekly brushing to remove dead hair and distribute skin oils.
