Scottish
Scottish cats are often called fold-eared by default. This is not entirely correct. Scottish Folds have ears that are bent forward and downward due to a gene mutation, but straight-eared Scottish Straights are essentially the same breed, only without a pronounced trait.
When you want to have not just a pet purr, but also teach your cat different commands and tricks, then you should choose from intellectually developed breeds.
A characteristic feature of fold-eared cats is that according to the breed standard, the ears do not extend beyond the outline of the muzzle and are bent at a right angle.
They are more friendly in character than the British, they easily learn to use the toilet and scratching post, they are playful, and they interact more with people. They can behave quite funny - stand on their hind legs, sleep on their back with their limbs tucked in, and make sounds similar to creaking.
They get along with children, but it is better not to introduce very young children to each other (either the child or the kitten must be older).
There is an opinion that fold-eared kittens are the most beautiful, although straight cats also find their connoisseurs, largely due to their wonderful character and unpretentiousness in maintenance.
Important! If you decide to breed Scots, you must strictly observe compatibility: only straight-fold or straight-straight! It is strictly forbidden to cross a fold-eared male cat with a female cat. The offspring are guaranteed to have joint problems.
