GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

 The Scottish
Fold occurred as a spontaneous mutation in
farm cats in Scotland. All bona-fide
Scottish trace their pedigree to Susie, the
first fold-ear cat discovered by the founders
of the breed, William and Mary Ross. The
Breed was subsequently established by
outcrosses to both pedigreed breeds and
domestic cats in the United States. One
word can describe the Scottish and that is
ROUND in every sense of the word. Round
head, body, eyes, and feet. The Scottish
Fold is best known for its distinctive ears
and large, round eyes, which give it a sweet,
open expression. They retain a "kittenish"
expression their entire life. The shorthair is
medium in size with a plush, dense coat.
The longhair has the same standard as the
Shorthair Fold/Straight with the exception of
the coat, which is semi-long and stands
away from the body. However, the longhair
gives the breed a somewhat softer overall
look. The Scottish Straight is identical with
the same sweet open expression but with
straight ears.

ALLOWANCES: Seasonal changes in coat
length and texture for the longhair
fold/straight. Lockets.
PENALIZE: A heavy brow ridge is to be
penalized as it closes down the face, making
the cat look as if it is scowling or frowning
and detracts from the sweet, open
expression. The forehead should be
smooth. A definite nose break is considered
a fault. Any hint of lack of mobility in the cat
due to short coarse legs.

WITHHOLD ALL AWARDS (WW):
Evidence of illness, poor health, emaciation.
DISQUALIFY (DQ): Kinked tail. Tail lacking
in flexibility.
