Personality
The Scottish Folds are intelligent, sweet, gentle and quiet cats that
make no demands on life, other than to be close to the people they
love. With a fascination for water, they
are
often found playing in the sink or shower, and always enjoy a pet water
fountain to drink from. They are a very loyal breed with a
tendency to form a bond with one person, and are also very
personable with just about everyone they meet. There is no
difference in personality between the folded ear and non-folded ear cat
in
this breed. The genetic mutation that forms the fold in the
ear
is the only real difference, making the straight ear folds (oxymoron) a
very desirable family pet, whereas the folded ear cats often enjoy a
successful career in the show ring. Scottish
Folds thrive on attention and absolutely love to be near you, but
usually not a lap fungus. There's not a mischievous bone in
their
body, just take one look into their eyes to see their
pure innocence! They are known to be one of the only
cat
breeds to enjoy a good game of fetch, and they seem to retain their
playful nature throughout adulthood as well. Intensely
inquisitive by nature, Scottish Folds love to help supervise
whatever you happen to be doing. They get along very well
with
other animals, including dogs. |
