Back in 2002, a stray scottish fold was living in my Uncle's backyard. I had just lost my tabby cat who I had since I was 4 and decided to take the cat in. Now 18 years later, she's on a strict diet and has benign tumors in her ears. She's constantly had a cone on throughout her life due to scratching her ears to bleeding. I have to clean those ears everyday and take her to her food because of her sore body. I'm grateful for her, and thankfully she's a mix. Her problems aren't as intense as pure folds. She's in great shape for 20. I will never take in or buy another SF again though.

Our Scottish Fold is 18 months old and already on expensive monthly medication due to an early developed arthritis. This breed requires extra care and attention, and can be very costly addition to the family. Any potential SF owner should understand that the Vet bills, medication and special diets will sum up to pretty substantial monthly costs. And if you cannot accommodate these expenses - please do not get this breed, otherwise your pet will slowly suffer in pain. Be responsible and realistic prior to inviting one to your family.

Anyway, is not that the cartilage of folds doesn't support the ears. Folds have hard cartilage. Ears of my cat were thicker and stiffer compared tho regular ears. They don't straight up when the cat grows past 3 weeks and remain just like those of small kittens.

Thank You so much for informing future cat owners about the risks of buying a Scottisch Fold. I'm considering a cat and Scottisch Fold was my first choice, I was sure that if a breeded crosses a Fold with a British cat (for example) all the kittens would be free of this condition. Now I know better, thank You for that!

The British short hair is so far enjoying isolation and hates being in hands (we have him for only 2 weeks so this might change)

All type of cat breeds suffer some form of ailment especially when they get older. Just make sure to get a Scottish fold that has a parent who’s from a different breeds. Most popular breed is British shorthair. My Scottish fold is 3 years old and healthy with no joint or health issues. All Scottish folds are susceptible to osteochondrodysplasia but not all will suffer the affects. Much like other breeds susceptible to their specific ailments. I would avoid the triple folded and go with a single fold.

Just asking, would the disease continue if one of the Scottish folds parents was a British Shorthair and the other was still a fold?

@carolynshepherd8344 Жыл бұрын

Because of the gene that causes the folded ears, all Scottish folds will develop the cartilage/bone disease called osteochondrodysplasia. However, if bred with a British, the chance of the disease being severe is greatly reduced. There are also joint supplements that lots of people give their folds to help even further. The video made it seem like all Scottish folds will suffer horrible painful lives and that just isn't true!
