The Scottish Fold can be traced back to a farm in the Tayside Region of Scotland in 1961. A shepherd named William Ross saw the cat, obtained a kitten, and developed the breed. The Scottish Fold is distinguished by its flexible ears that fold down and forward providing the cat's face a teddy bear, owl, or pixie look that attracted many American cat lovers.
The Scottish Fold is a medium-sized cat, with males typically reaching 4 to 6 kg (9–13 lb), females 2.7–4 kg (6–9 lb). The Fold's entire body structure, especially the head and face, is generally rounded, and the eyes large and round. The nose will be short with a gentle curve and the cat's body well-rounded with a padded look and medium-to-short legs. The head is domed at the top, and the neck very short. The broadly-spaced eyes give the Scottish Fold a "sweet expression".
Scottish Folds can be either long- or short-haired, and they may have nearly any coat color or combination of colors (including white). Short hair Scottish Folds have thick and soft fur, with long hair Folds having longer and exceptionally dense fur around their upper thighs, toes, ears, and tail.
Scottish Folds are typically good-natured and placid and adjust to other animals within a household extremely well. They tend to become very attached to their human caregivers and are by nature quite affectionate. Folds also receive high marks for playfulness, grooming, and intelligence. These animals like to be outdoors and enjoy outdoor games and activities very much. Loneliness is something they heavily dislike and which makes them feel depressed.
The Scottish Fold generally presents a sad-looking appearance, but their personality on the contrary is happy and energetic, and they enjoy socializing and love attention.
