CLEAR ALLScottish Straights are known to be amiable, engaging, delightful and sweet. They are smart, curious and very loyal to their families. You will frequently see them following a family member from room to room, checking what their human companion is doing and seeking to participate in whatever it is.
The Scottish Straights – long haired or short haired, are part of the Scottish Breed Group along with the Scottish Folds – short haired or long haired. These lovable cats are all born in the same litter and have identical structural features and personalities. The only noticeable difference is their ears. The Scottish Straights have normal, erect ears, while the Scottish Folds’ ears are folded forward and down.
This cat breed boasts a round face, round eyes, and rounded body, making them really endearing and adorable. Their body is medium-sized and medium-boned.
Scottish Straights love to eat; but, they are not as active as other cat breeds. Because of this, they are inclined to gain extra weight, especially on their bellies. That’s why it is recommended that this cat breed is regularly encouraged to keep active. Thankfully, because of their love for interaction and attention, you can easily keep them occupied with interactive play.
These lively and inquisitive felines are also very bright. You can keep their brain stimulated by teaching them games, commands and provide them with puzzle toys to challenge their cleverness.
Scottish Straights have an independent side and like to do their own thing. Even so, they much prefer the company of their families, other cats, and cat-friendly dogs rather than being alone for long periods. This cat breed gets along excellent with both children and other pets, making them a fab family pet.

Scottish Fold Longhairs are medium-sized cats with round features and long hair that gives them a solid structure. They typically stand between 8 and 10 inches tall and weigh anywhere between 6 and 14 lbs. They have well-balanced and aligned features creating a gorgeous appearance.
Along with their round bodies are round heads and eyes. They have broad, short noses and straight, small ears with rounded tips, set wide. They can have any eye colour, but copper is most common, and they can also come in various patterns and colours. These include tabby, bicolour, white, and solid. Therefore, just as breeders cannot predict how many Scottish Folds and Scottish Straights they will get from a litter, the colours are a mystery, too.
Because of their long hair, you’ll need to brush your Scottish Straight regularly (multiple times a week) to prevent tangling or matting. However, as they do not carry the gene mutation that affects their ear cartilage, they are less prone to osteochoendrodysplasia and ear infections than Scottish Folds.
Scottish Straight Long Hairs are chilled lap cats that love spending time with their owners. They are sweet, loyal, and gentle and will lovingly follow their owners around the house. They have relatively low energy levels and prefer snuggling on their owner’s lap rather than running around, but they still love to play nonetheless.
Scottish Straight Longhairs are also very curious and intelligent. They want to know about everything you are doing and need sufficient mental stimulation to prevent boredom. While interactive play sessions are best, supplying lots of interactive toys like puzzle feeders is vital for keeping them occupied when you are out. You’ll know if your Scottish Straight is not getting the mental activity they need as they will become lethargic and appear depressed.
One thing to note about Scottish Straight Longhairs is that they do not like to be picked up or held. They love staying close and will happily climb onto your lap, but they feel restrained if you pick them up. Although Scottish Straights love their humans, they have an independent streak, so they do not like to be in a situation where there is no feeling of control.
Scottish Straights are adaptable felines and have the right balance between being devoted to their owners but not clingy. Furthermore, if they receive sufficient socialisation as kittens, they will not be shy around strangers and other animals. However, if they did not meet various people while young, they may be more timid and wary around people they meet for the first time.
Scottish Straight Longhairs seem to adapt well to most types of home environments. Providing they receive plenty of interaction with their owners and have an enriched environment, they will generally be happy cats.
Scottish Straights are playful but gentle, making them an ideal cat for families with children and other animals. However, if you’re bringing a Scottish Straight into a home with young kids, they must know not to pick up the kitty or carry it around. Moreover, getting a Scottish Straight as a kitten is ideal if you already have other pets. They will accept them immediately and likely grow up to be best friends.

Neo
Russian Blue
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.
The Pedigree Paws verified for us all the vaccinations and health checks to make sure our new kitten was 100% healthy.
Thank you for all your help The Pedigree Paws! Highly recommended!
Jack
Miniature Dachshund
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.
He showed me all the health documents of both parents, their pedigree and answer to all my questions. I am so happy they helped me to find a healthy puppy as finding one by myself was very overwhelming. Contacting The Pedigree Paws was the best decision and I highly recommend them to everybody!

Athena
Chihuahua
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. Thank you, The Pedigree Paws, for being truthful and transparent.
