Among the four varieties of Scottish cats, there is such an interesting breed as the Highland Fold, or Scottish Fold longhaired cat (in English, highland fold - “highlands”). The breed is not yet as popular in the world as its short-haired counterparts, but in vain, because it is unique. Where else on our planet can you find furballs whose ears are completely invisible?! They're like aliens.

What do Scottish fold cats look like?
Representatives of this breed have a squat body with well-developed muscles.
The paws are powerful and not too long. The neck is short, the head is quite large and rounded, with a strong chin and round whisker pads. The tail is usually medium or long, pointed towards the end. Scottish Folds have a very impressive appearance / phz8.petinsurance.com
The Scottish coat is short, straight, thick and soft. There are various colors - solid (for example, cream, white, black, blue), two-color, tabby, tortoiseshell, smoky and others.
A characteristic feature of the Scottish Fold is the small ears pressed to the head, which are folded forward and droop slightly. This difference is caused by a gene mutation that causes cartilage, including the ear cartilage, to become softer.
