Scottish Fold Cat

When purchasing a folded-eared cat, be sure to confirm the elasticity of the tail and check the legs and feet. It should not be thick or lack elasticity due to stubby legs or spread of toes. To judge the elasticity of the tail, you can use your hands to "very gently" stroke it from the slightly arched base of the tail to the tip. If the elasticity is normal, this arching stroke will not cause discomfort to the cat. Again, this movement must be very gentle!

The pricing of Scottish Fold cats depends on their appearance, corresponding markings and pedigree, such as super champion (GC), national or regional champion (NW or RW), outstanding breeding cat (DM), etc.

The DM title refers to the female parent (i.e. mother) who has bred 5 CFA Super Champions/Neutered Group Super Champions or DM offspring, or the male parent (i.e. father) has bred 15 CFA Super Champions/Neutered Group Super Champions or DM offspring. Breeders usually do not transfer kittens until they are 12 to 16 weeks old.
