What are Scottish Fold cats like?
Scottish Fold cats are known for their playful and affectionate nature. They are highly intelligent and adapt well to living with other pets, although they may prefer the company of other Scottish Folds. When considering a Scottish Fold for your family, it’s important to note that they enjoy human company and don’t like being left alone for extended periods.
These cats typically weigh between 6 and 13 pounds and can grow up to 13 inches in height. Scottish Fold cats have a distinctive folded ear characteristic, giving them a unique and charming appearance. Their coats are short and plush, coming in a variety of colors, including white, black, blue, cream, and silver among other variations. Registered Scottish Fold breeders will have kittens for sale with a range of coat colors and patterns.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
