Scottish Fold cats are cats which have a permanent fold in their ears. This is caused by a genetic modification. These cats were originally called lop-eared, after rabbits with similar ears. They were formally renamed Scottish Fold in 1966.

As you can tell by the breed's name, Scottish Fold cats came from Scotland. A pregnant female was identified having folded ears. She had kittens who had also that same mutation. All Scottish Folds have originated from this lineage.

Unfortunately, the original Scottish Fold cats had some health disorders. They had anomalies of the spine and tail and had ear mites. Some were even deaf. Many people said that the cats should not be allowed to breed. Nevertheless, the Scottish Fold's were then cross bred with American and British shorthairs. This enabled them to have the desired attribute of the folded ears, but be considerably healthier cats.

Most people like these cats just because they are so cute. However, they also possess great personalities. They are very loving and adorable. These traits make them extremely popular and also very costly. They are a bit more work than other cats, since their ears tend to build up wax much quicker. The owner needs to help the cat by clearing this out periodically. They additionally are prone to get obese than other cat breeds. They have a life expectancy of nearly fifteen years.

These cats do not show that they get folded ears until they are about three weeks old. It is because all cats' ears are folded until they are about three weeks old. The Scottish Fold's ears will remain folded and the other cats' ears will open. This, obviously, suggests that there is a little bit of a possibility while reproducing Scottish Fold cats.
