Around us, many friends will raise Scottish Fold cats, which are cats produced in Scotland. Cats are relatively noble breeds, have gentle personalities, and are more loyal to humans. Moreover, the appearance of Scottish Fold cats is very cute. So, what should we pay special attention to when raising Scottish Fold cats?

1. Appearance characteristics of folded-eared cats

1. The head, jaw and chin are round

The skull and chin are round and strong. There are round beard pads on the muzzle. The head should blend into the short neck. Male cats have broad and prominent cheek flesh.

2. Eyes are big and sweet

The eyes are big and sweet. The eyes are large and round, and the color corresponds to the coat color. The nose is short and slightly curved. Minor interruptions are allowed. The side profile is soft.

3. Ears droop forward

The ears are small, and smaller ears that are tightly clasped are better than large, floppy ears. The ears should sit close to the head like a hat, showing off the roundness of the skull. The top of the ears is round.

4. Medium build

The body is medium-sized, round, and evenly proportioned from shoulders to waist. You should stand firm and steady. There should be no sense of heaviness or lack of movement caused by thick and short legs.

5. The toes are round and the tail is flexible

Good toes must be neat and round, with 5 toes on the front paws and 4 on the back paws. Tail length should be medium to long but in proportion to the body. The tail is flexible and has a thin or rounded tip. The longer the tail and the thinner the tip, the better.

6. There are two types of coats: short and long.

(1) Short hair: dense, thick and well-proportioned. The length of the coat is short to medium short. The coat is soft and vibrant.

(2) Long hair: medium to long. It is preferred that the face and body be covered with long hair, but short hair is allowed on the face and legs.

2. Feeding methods for fold-eared cats

1. Feed fixed brands

Like most cats, their intestines and stomachs are relatively weak, so it is best to give them a fixed brand of cat food when feeding. If you need to switch to another brand of cat food for them, be sure to do so slowly.

2. Pay attention to food conversion

During the process of changing food, pay special attention to their poop, because suddenly changing cat food can easily cause cats to have diarrhea.

3. Grooming and hygiene of folded-eared cats

1. Comb your hair lightly and frequently

Whether they are long-haired or short-haired, the coat of folded-eared cats is very thick, so it is best to comb them every day to keep the coat shiny and remove dead hair.

2. Feed cats hair vomiting cream

Like other cats, Fold-eared cats also have the habit of self-cleaning with their tongues. Regular feeding of hair spitting cream can help them clean up indigestible hair balls in their intestines and stomach, thereby reducing the possibility of gastrointestinal discomfort.

3. Pay attention to ear cleaning

Their ears have a lot of secretions, so clean them with ear drops twice a week to help keep the ear canal dry and avoid the growth of bacteria and parasites. You will get a healthy cat.

The Scottish Fold cat is native to Scotland. Its main personality characteristics are that it is approachable, has big and round eyes, and is very cute. Moreover, this cat has short and long coats. When feeding, we should pay attention to changing the cat's food frequently, and at the same time, we should also pay attention to combing and cleaning the cat's hair.
