Scottish Fold
The Scottish Fold is renowned for its distinctive, forward-folding ears that give it an owl-like appearance. This charming feature originated from a natural mutation discovered in a farm cat in Scotland in the early 1960s. Known for their round faces, large eyes, and soft, dense coats, Scottish Folds are medium-sized cats with sturdy bodies. Their unique ears can vary from slightly folded to tightly folded against the head, contributing to their irresistible cuteness.
