What is a Scottish folded cat?
Scottish cat is a home breed of cat, which was first discovered in Scotland in 1961. Scottish fold is known for the unique shape of the ears that moves to the head. Originally called the "cat with a pavel ears", the Scottish fold was recognized as a different breed except Scotland in most of the world.
William Ross, Scottish farmer, found the first Scottish fold. The cat was a white barn with distinctive folded ears, named Susie, who lived on a neighboring farm. As soon as Susie had kittens, Ross intentionally began to behave more of strangely stacked cats. Soon other breeders and geneticists discovered a breed. Although the Scottish folded cat began in Scotland, Scottish cat officials were resistant to accept the breed to the Scottish register because they believed that ears were proof that cats were susceptible to ears related.
Scottish folds are rounded, medium -sized cats. Males weigh 9–13 Pastrods (4–6 kg), women £ 6-9 (£ 2,7-4). They have short necks and big eyes. These cats can be any baRvou and pattern, with the exception of Siamese or Himalayas, and can be short or long hair. Long hair cats are sometimes called Highland Folds. They live for about 15 years.
clay and inactive, Scottish cat is good in both adults and children. However, they are candidates for attention and do not make well when they remain alone for a long time. These cats have quiet voices and are not particularly loud, but it is known to sit or lie in odd positions, such as an apartment on their tummy with their legs stretched, imitating carpets of animal skin.
Although Scottish folds are named for their ears, not all these cats have folded ears. Scottish folds with straight ears cannot be shown, but they produce good pets and are necessary in breeding programs. In Australia, Strkotské folds with ears are considered a separate breed called Scottish short hair. Scottish kittens were born with ears, toThe terés are straight that will start to compose about three to four weeks after birth.
Folded cats come in three different types: individual, double and triple folds. Individual folds have free -folded ears, the three are firmly formed by the head and the doubles are somewhere between them. Quality shows only triple complex cats.
When a Scottish cat is responsible, a healthy breed is generally a healthy breed. However, it is prone to degenerative joint diseases that cause cartilage hardening, especially in the tail. This disease is caused by cats kept cats with folded cats. Ethic breeders will only breed a folded cat on a cat with a straight ears, which seems to eliminate the problem. The disease usually occurs when the cat is four to six months old and does not endanger life.
