Re: How Many People Have Heard Of Scottish Fold?

Yes I have heard of them

The GCCF are unlikely to recognise them at the moment as the gene which causes the fold can cause health issues.

Scottish Fold: There is no intention to recognise this breed because the gene which produces the folded ears also causes skeletal abnormalities, producing stiffness of the limbs and tail which increases with age. This is especially true when two fold-eared cats are bred together but it has been shown that cats with only one gene for folded ears also suffer from abnormal stiffness. Under these circumstances it has never been recognised and we strongly advise members of the public not to try to acquire cats of this breed.

Re: How Many People Have Heard Of Scottish Fold?

Yes i know that i did read up about them before i got one
but all breeds have health problems by the way they are breed
wot about persians

They can have lots of sinus and breathing problems.Their short muzzle also causes then to have dust and debris cover the inside of their nostrils more often, which makes it very difficult for them to breathe.
They get ear wax build up, hair knots, and feline acne, toxiplasmosis and also teeth and jaw problems, these are all the main ones.
