CLEAR ALLThe Scottish Fold is a sweet-natured breed that looks like a soft, stuffed toy. The shorthair variety has a thick, lush coat that is like a teddy-bear, while the longhair variety has an even more ruffled look, giving the appearance of a woolly sheep.
Their signature feature is their folded ears, caused by a natural genetic mutation giving them their iconic owl-like look. Aside from this distinct trait, the Scottish Fold is a mellow, charming cat breed.
Scottish Folds are bright, curious, and are very devoted to their family. Frequently called dogs in disguise, the affectionate Scottish Fold is dedicated to their family and can be trained to walk on a leash to join family outings. Calm, kind, intelligent and very well-adjusted, the Scottish Fold cat is also very loving and warm.
A lot of Scottish Folds enjoy being held, but you will frequently find them following their human companion around the house, never leaving their side. While they can get very attached to their family, they are not too clingy.
This cat breed is a good eater and not as active as other cat breeds, so they require regular engagement. Take advantage of their love for human attention and interaction by keeping them busy in interactive play. When prompted, they thoroughly enjoy playing and are incredibly responsive to training.
An adaptable breed, Scottish Folds, are generally relaxed and comfortable in a variety of environments. They can handle a room full of children and pets just as well as a single-person apartment.
If they are appropriately introduced, they can adjust to new environments and people very well. Scottish Folds prefer the company of their families, other cats, and cat-friendly dogs than being left alone for long periods of time. This cat breed gets along great with both children and other pets.

Scottish Fold Shorthairs are medium-sized cats with a rounded body and head structure. Their legs are slightly shorter than average, giving them a stocky look. Males are usually larger, weighing 9 to 13 lbs and females are noticeably smaller at 6 to 9 lbs. The second most distinctive facial feature of a Scottish Shorthair is their large, round eyes. You will also notice how the top of their head has a dome shape, and their necks are very short.
Interestingly, Scottish Fold Shorthairs are not born with folded ears. Instead, their ears are straight for the first month before they gradually drop due to the dominant gene that affects the ear cartilage. Also, the original Scottish Fold Shorthairs only had one crease in their ears. Now, because of selective breeding, most have a double or triple fold, making them appear completely flat.
Scottish Fold Shorthairs have a thick but short coat that feels soft to the touch. They can come in almost any colour and have a solid shade or a combination of tones. Popular colours are silver-blue, Calcio, or Tabby. Their short coat is super easy to care for, requiring virtually no maintenance.
One grooming requirement that every Scottish Fold has, though, is regular ear cleaning. Their lop-sided ears build up wax quickly and are more prone to mites and infections than other breeds. Therefore you will need to clean them once a week. If you create this habit while they are a kitten, they will adapt quickly to the regime and enjoy the quality time with you that it brings.
Scottish Fold Shorthairs are an extremely affectionate breed with a peaceful and gentle temperament. They are calm, yet they can have very playful outbursts and love to explore. These curious kitties find everything exciting and love to play games, use their scratch posts, and “play prey” with their toy mice.
They also have an ideal balance between social interaction and independence. While Scottish Folds love to be around their humans and make excellent lap cats, they are also happy to chill alone if you work during the day. Their laid-back nature makes them a brilliant addition to all types of family homes, including those with children and other pets, as they adapt very well to changes.
Scottish Fold Shorthairs are generally pretty quiet, and when they do meow, it’s a gentle sounding voice that you will hear. They are not needy cats nor require lots of exercise, but a couple of short, interactive play sessions will help keep them both happy and in shape. As their ancestors were barn cats, these animals also enjoy playing outside.
Scottish Fold Shorthairs are easy-going and adaptable, so they suit most family environments. Unlike some breeds, a Scottish Fold Shorthair does not mind staying at home alone. They have medium energy levels, so providing you leave plenty of stimulation, they will not display signs of distress.
However, they are still social animals, so if you work away from home, be sure to shower them with affection before and after your return. Scottish Fold Shorthairs love to cuddle on the couch, so if you like to settle down for an evening of Netflix, this kitty will be the perfect companion for you.
This breed is also great with other children, thanks to their gentle nature. They will not lash out, but of course, it’s always wise to supervise young children around any cat. Scottish Fold Shorthairs also adore being around other animals. So, if you work out of the house, we recommend getting your furry owl a friend to play with while you’re away.

We had some concerns purchasing a kitten online but our experience with The Pedigree Paws was great. They connected us with Caroline, the Russian Blue breeder and we had many conversations and received multiple pictures and videos. She answered to all our questions.

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. Many videos and pictures were shown, the breeder shared with us the proof of vaccinations, deworming and her 5 generation pedigree. We were fortunate as George, the breeder was able to deliver the puppy to us personally. We are very pleased with our beautiful Athena.
