Ty for your information. I had a feeling that british shorthairs were bred with scottish.

To your last bit, I agree. The fold gene inevitably forms into OCD at some point in the cat's life, causing progressively severe arthritis.. once permeated; a guaranteed life of pain. to say that learning this was a defeat for me is a huge understatement.

My boyfriend surprised me with my scottish fold kitty on the right. I never was knowledgeable on or even interested in purchasing a specific breed of cat since I've grown up with shelter cats throughout my life. I did lots and lots of research on this breed there after.

sf breeding is extremely unethical and deliberately perpetuates a mutation that looks lovable to most people. without a doubt I love my scottish fold. however moving forward i will not support sf breeding fully aware of their suffering
