What affects us affects cats
At last! I’ve been writing about this as have other online authors for many years. It’s actually a well-known problem but it is the first time in my recollection that a mainstream newspaper of the quality of The Times has written about the problem on page 3. It concerns the cartilage problems suffered by …
My research tells me that Scottish Fold cats are likely to suffer from chronic (long-term) pain due to the inherited disease that gives these cats their famously flat ears. This is a well-known fact actually but I wanted to check on prevalence across the breed and it is bad. Sidebar: Catster says that Scottish …

The cat associations says that breeders should always mate a Scottish Fold with a non-Scottish fold cat in order to create a healthy …
The Scottish Fold Straight should not exist. It only exists as a by-product of the need to avoid creating horribly unhealthy Scottish Fold cats which have both copies (Fd/Fd) of the gene (Fd) which causes the ear flaps to fold down because of weak cartilage.
