The Scottish Fold is a domestic cat breed known for its unique folded ears, which bend forward like a little owl's. This distinctive look comes from a natural genetic change affecting cartilage. These cats live as pets worldwide, charming people with their unusual ear shape.

  • Their folded ears result from a cartilage-affecting genetic mutation.
  • The ear fold gives them an owl-like facial appearance.
  • The genetic trait can sometimes lead to cartilage-related health issues.
