That is the answer in a nutshell.


Comment: the Scottish Fold is a cat breed which arguably should not be bred because the cartilage defect due to a defective gene can affect other parts of the cat to the detriment of the cat if the breeder does a poor job. They are the product of what Germans call ‘torture breeding’.

Ragdolls are great cats. They are large, beautiful, great indoor cats, calm and friendly. I am generalising because all individuals are different but the Ragdoll is popular.
