Secrets of Scottish Fold Cats Scottish Fold originated from a barn cat named Susie that was best known for chasing away mice. Scottish Folds were once known as lop-eared folded cats because of their ears. They became known as Scottish Folds after the country they came from. The farmer that had Susie sold her kittens, and brought the Scottish Folds to the world. Scottish Folds are a bit different from other types of cats. When they are born, their ears are straight, but they begin to fold three weeks after they are born. They have a long tail that sometimes curls up a bit. Scottish Folds come in many different colors and patterns. They can be solid, tabby, tabby and white, bicolor, or parti-color. Their eye color depends on their coat. They have a habit of doing odd positions when they want to: like lying flat on the floor, sitting up straight, and lying on its back with paws up on the air. Scottish Folds are smart and moderately active. They enjoy playing with toys that test their agility and intelligence. They mostly enjoy attention, and hate being alone. So its best to adopt a Scottish Fold if you spend time with it night and day, or have someone else take care of it while you are gone, or have another cat for it to play with. Scottish Folds are hard to take care of because of their ears. You need to groom them weekly. Grooming requires brushing its coat, cleaning eyes, teeth, and especially the ears.
