CLEAR ALLScottish Folds are known to be a very calm, kind, highly adaptable and intelligent cat breed. They are endeared by many not only because of their appearance but also their very affectionate and warm nature.
Recognized for their unique trait, Scottish Folds boast folded ears that resemble an owl. Their folded ears result from a natural genetic mutation. Aside from this unique trait, this cat breed is mellow and charming.
These inquisitive cats are also clever and very devoted to their family. While many of them enjoy being held, some of these cats prefer just following their human companion around the house or staying nearby and never leaving their side.
Scottish Folds can get every attached to their family – not just one family member. But they are not too clingy. Furthermore, like many other breeds, Scottish Folds love playing, interacting with their families, and are incredibly responsive to training.
Scottish Folds are an adaptable breed. Because of their relaxed and calm demeanour, they can be comfortable in various environments. Whether in a room full of noisy, active children or pets or in a quiet, single-person apartment, they can thrive and live comfortably. However, because they prefer being in the company of humans or animals, it would be best to provide them with a companion if you leave them for long periods of time.
These lovable cats have a great appetite; however, they are not as active as other cat breeds. Because of this, they tend to gain extra weight. So, to keep them healthy, you may need to stimulate them to move. Take advantage of their love for human attention and interaction by keeping them busy with games and interactive play.
Often compared to a soft stuffed toy, Scottish Folds have two coat varieties: shorthair and longhair. The longhair variety has a more ruffled look, giving the Scottish Folds’ coat a woolly sheep appearance.
The affectionate Scottish Folds are often called dogs in disguise. Their dedication to their family is remarkable; that’s why they are an excellent feline companion to families with children and other pets in the household. They are also preferred by those who want their cats to walk on a leash because they can be trained easily.

Scottish Fold Longhairs are medium-sized cats, although their long, thick coats do make them appear larger than their shorthair siblings. They weigh between 6 to 13 lbs, with females being smaller than males. They have sturdy, rounded bodies along with circular heads.
Their ears fold forward and fit closely to their heads, and they have big, round eyes that give them a curious yet endearing expression. However, surprisingly, Scottish Fold Longhairs are born with straight ears. At around 3 to 4 weeks, their ears begin to turn forwards and drop. Plus, usually, only about 50% of the litter will develop folded ears. The remaining kittens with straight ears are known as straight eared Folds.
Long haired Scottish Folds boast beautiful long coats that are dense and plush. While their gorgeous fur makes them look and feel like teddies, it does matt quickly, so you’ll need to brush them every day. Scottish Folds can come in all colours and patterns. Many will be a solid shade like white or silver-blue, and it’s also common to see grey and brown Tabby Scottish Fold Longhairs.
They have a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years. Still, anyone who brings a Scottish Fold into their home should be aware of their genetic predispositions and create a preventive health plan with their vet.
Many people mistakenly assume that the Scottish Fold Longhairs’ ears are a result of selective breeding. However, this is a naturally occurring breed that originated amongst barn cats in Scotland. Even so, because many people found these kitties’ ears adorable, breeders began to develop these Scottish barn cats as a pedigree breed.
It’s not just their appearance that attracts cat lovers to this breed. Scottish Fold Longhairs are as gentle and loving as they look. They enjoy spending time with their owners, whether that’s playing together or sitting on their lap, yet they are very easy-going, too. They will not demand your attention and are instead a very quiet breed. When they do speak, they use soft-sounding meows instead of insistent calls.
These fluffy felines have medium energy levels but love to play and are super curious. Their curiosity may even lead them to the kitchen cupboards, and as they are pretty intelligent, they can figure out how to open them.
These cats have brilliant personality traits, such as sitting on the sofa like a human, known as the Buddha position. They also like to sleep on their back, and some will use their paws to eat and drink! Scottish Fold Longhairs are not just cute, but they are an incredibly entertaining breed that will bring much joy and laughter into your life.
Scottish Fold Longhairs are very adaptable cats that deal well with change and will settle into pretty much any home environment. This makes them suitable for all types of families, including those with young children and pets, both of which Scottish Folds enjoy being around.
Although they are social creatures who adore humans, they are not as needy as some other breeds. They generally are fine to stay alone during the day, but this will depend on the individual cat’s temperament. Because these felines enjoy the company of other animals, they will thrive if they have a furry friend or two to grow up around. This is especially true if you work out of the house, as it will help to reduce their loneliness.

One of the reasons I was hesitant to order a puppy from The Pedigree Paws is because I live in Spain. However they connected me with a very good FCI breeder in Barcelona.

Athena

It's been a few months since we decided to find a Chihuahua puppy to join our family, however we had issues finding a good breeder.
We contacted The Pedigree Paws and they connected us with a very unique breeder in Greece.
