About the breed
The Scottish breed is one of the most famous and original breed. Scottish fold is considered one of the youngest breed. Although the first mention of cats, which look similar to Scots, was back in the XIX century.
In 1959th, a Scottish farmer saw a cat with very original appearance. It was Susie - white short-haired kitty with broken ears hanging forward. The farmer's wife was breeding Siamese cats and she interested in these unusual animals. The neighbors promised to give a kitten from another litter.
In 1961st, the cat gave birth to kittens. There was two kittens in this litter with an unusual shape of ears and they gave one kitten to neighbors. It was a white cat with folded ears and she was given the nickname Snooks. This moment is considered as the beginning of purposeful breeding of a Scottish fold cat.
From 1966 to 1971, there were various mating of these animals and in order to avoid unwanted mutations in future offspring, as they were siblings, it was decided to ask help from geneticists and mate with a white British shorthair cat. Genetics developed a program for breeding this breed.

Also, scientists studied the gene of the lop-eardeness and developed rules for the selection of breeding pairs. The main requirement was the following: never interbreed a Scottish Fold cat with cats whose ears are lowered. They must be crossed only with ordinary cats.
If you follow this rule, in the litter be a part of lop-eared kittens (Scottish Fold), and a part with ordinary ears (Scottish Straight).
Now the breed of Scottish Fold can be divided into 2 directions:
— Cats with hanging ears — folded ear
— Cats with straight ears — straights (straight)
Scottish fold is a certain type of mutation in cats. Such cats have a fairly strong immunity, well-built body. The colors of these cats are very diverse. These cats can be distinguished by the main feature — they have their ears down.
